Myosin VIIA identification in hWJCs perfused through decellularized cochleae. Human Wharton’s jelly cells (hWJCs) were stained with DAPI (blue) to identify cell nuclei, while the motor protein, Myosin VIIA (MYO7A) was identified via immunohistochemical staining (red). After 7 days of culture, a handful of adherent hWJCs displayed positive identification of MYO7A, which is a marker of early hair cell commitment. Cochlear matrix is shown in green as a result of autofluorescence. Scale bar = 100 μm
