Water permeability of the mammalian cochlea: functional features of an aquaporin-facilitated water shunt at the perilymph–endolymph barrier

The cochlear duct epithelium (CDE) constitutes a tight barrier that effectively separates the inner ear fluids, endolymph and perilymph, thereby maintaining distinct ionic and osmotic gradients that are essential for auditory function. However, in vivo experiments have demonstrated that the CDE allo...
