Opposing Fgf and Bmp activities regulate the specification of olfactory sensory and respiratory epithelial cell fates
14 Apr 2010
Abstract excerpt
The olfactory sensory epithelium and the respiratory epithelium are derived from the olfactory placode. However, the molecular mechanisms regulating the differential specification of the sensory and the respiratory epithelium have remained undefined. To address this issue, we first identified Msx1/2 and Id3 as markers for respiratory epithelial cells by performing quail chick transplantation studies. Next, we...
