Inhibition of mTOR by Rapamycin Results in Auditory Hair Cell Damage and Decreased Spiral Ganglion Neuron Outgrowth and Neurite Formation In Vitro

Figure 5

Effects of rapamycin on SG neuronal survival. (a-b) Representative SG explants after treatment with DMSO only (control) and rapamycin 100 μM. (c) Rapamycin treatment did not show a difference in SGN survival compared to controls (). Scale bar 100 μm. Data are represented as mean. Vertical lines represent one standard deviation. for each experimental condition.
