Abstract excerpt
Vertebrate inner ear development is initiated by the specification of the otic placode, an ectodermal structure induced by signals from neighboring tissue. Although several signaling molecules have been identified as candidate otic inducers, many details of the process of inner ear induction remain elusive. Here, we report that otic induction is responsive to the level of Hedgehog (Hh) signaling activity in...
