Insulin-Like Growth Factor Signaling Regulates the Timing of Sensory Cell Differentiation in the Mouse Cochlea
7 Dec 2011
Abstract excerpt
The mammalian auditory sensory epithelium, the organ of Corti, is a highly ordered cellular structure that comprises two types of auditory hair cells and several types of nonsensory supporting cells. During embryogenesis, a stereotyped sequence of cellular and molecular events is required for its development. These processes are assumed to be regulated by multiple growth and transcription factors. However, the...
