Cover: The cover image shows representative 3D-deconvoluted immunofluorescence images of a myosin VI wild-type and a myosin VI mutant auditory inner hair cell double-labeled with anti-otoferlin (green) and the synaptic vesicle marker anti-VGLUT3 (red) at postnatal day 17. Overlapping immunoreactivity is indicated by the presence of yellow zones. Cell nuclei are stained in blue with DAPI. Myosin VI mutant IHCs show reduced presence of otoferlin in the supranuclear region of the trans-Golgi network and reduced VGLUT3 immunolabeled synaptic vesicles in the basal pole compared to wild-type IHCs.
