Fine-tuning of Notch signaling sets the boundary of the organ of Corti and establishes sensory cell fates

Fine-tuning of Notch signaling sets the boundary of the organ of Corti and establishes sensory cell fates

The signals that induce the organ of Corti and define its boundaries in the cochlea are poorly understood. We show that two Notch modifiers, Lfng and Mfng, are transiently expressed precisely at the neural boundary of the organ of Corti. Cre-Lox fate mapping shows this region gives rise to inner hai...
