MITF-M mutation leads to the loss of saccular hair cells in miniature pigs (postnatal 14 days). a (1) Low magnification image of the saccule from wild miniature pig with numerous hair cells throughout the sensory epithelium; a (2) high magnification image of the saccular region from wild miniature pig (otoconia was removed for a better view); b (1): low magnification image of the saccule from MITF-mutation porcine model with extensive hair cell loss throughout the sensory epithelium; b (2): high magnification image of the saccular region from MITF-mutation porcine model. Scale bars in a (1) & b (1) = 1 mm, in a (2) & b (2) = 60 μm
