Abstract excerpt
Bone morphogenetic protein 4 (Bmp4) is expressed during multiple stages of development of the chicken inner ear. At the otocyst stage, Bmp4 is expressed in each presumptive sensory organ, as well as in the mesenchymal cells surrounding the region of the otocyst that is destined to form the semicircular canals.
