(20) Economic burdens for postmarketing research should be shared jointly by the research-oriented and generic drug companies.
Otocyst
Definition:
(n.) An auditory cyst or vesicle; one of the simple auditory organs of many invertebrates, containing a fluid and otoliths; also, the embryonic vesicle from which the parts of the internal ear of vertebrates are developed.
Example Sentences:
(1) The absence of this facilitative influence following otocyst ablation becomes apparent just at the time synapses would normally be formed between the the primary auditory afferents and the brain stem auditory neurons.
(2) The present experiment tested this hypothesis by surgically removing both otocysts (embryonic precursors of the inner ear) and studying the developing NL in the absence of peripheral input.
(3) Otocysts of twelfth and thirteenth gestation day mouse embryos were grown in organ culture for 9 and 8 days respectively.
(4) In the stage of the invasion of the otocyst by the peripheral fibers, embryonic days 6-7, some fibers enter the epithelium directly after reaching it, others enter after traveling some distance longitudinally beneath its basal lamina.
(5) The results obtained following manipulation of the otocyst indicate the major role of extrinsic (epigenetic) parameters in normal skeletogenesis and emphasize an apparent discrepancy between the normal and potential expansion of a bone.
(6) Many more cells were seen to have cilia in various stages of development, and by the 12th PCD possibly each cell of the main otocystic cavity had a kinocilium.
(7) The expression of vimentin, cytokeratins (CKs) and neurofilament (NF) proteins was analysed (using monoclonal antibodies) in the mouse inner ear at the otocyst stage (13th gestational day), when organogenesis was largely completed (16th gestational day) and at birth (21st gestational day).
(8) In 10.5- to 12-day embryos the mesenchyme surrounding the otocyst was loosely organized except for a few lateroventral condensations; explants from these embryos synthesized only small amounts of collagen.
(9) Preliminary results from a heterochronic series of SAG implants to common age otocysts suggest that these SAG neurones are capable of responding to the attractant fields which are produced by presumptive labyrinthine sensory epithelium over an extended period of otic development.
(10) Various methods of dissection, fixation, osmication, sectioning and staining were tested in order to develop an acceptable technique for preparing 9, 10, 11, and 12-day-old rat otocysts for electron microscopic study.
(11) Light microscopy and immunocytochemical staining for fibronectin and laminin were used to trace the cellular contributions to these ganglia from the otic placode and otocyst.
(12) In the rat embryo, NGFR immunoreactivity is present in the auditory placode at E9, in the periotic mesenchyme at E9-10, and in the medial half of the otocyst at E10-11.
(13) Stage I encompasses the time from initial formation of the otocyst until the start of stage II, which is the stage when the pars inferior begins migrating ventrally.

(17) These findings suggest that the otocyst acts as an inductor of chondrogenesis of periotic mesenchyme tissue between embryonic days 11 to 13, and controls capsular morphogenesis between embryonic days 13 to 14 in the mouse embryo.
(18) The presence of tight and gap junctions at this early stage in the differentiating otocyst is probably essential for the development of a normally functioning adult ear.
(19) Thus, concomitant with changes in surface polarity, the cells that comprise the dorsoanterolateral wall of the otocyst undergo profound changes in the intracellular location of their organelles, especially the Golgi apparatus and the centrosome, so that by the time cells detach from the otic epithelium a reversal in their "normal" internal polarity has occurred.
(20) Dying cells were also noted in the neural tube, cranial ganglia, retina, and otocyst.
