Tissue-specific requirements for FGF8 during early inner ear developmentTissue-specific requirements for FGF8 during early inner ear developmentDomínguez-Frutos E, Vendrell V, Alvarez Y, Zelarayan LC, López-Hernández I, Ros M, Schimmang T.2009-07-17T22:00:00Z<h2><span class="ms-rteThemeFontFace-1 ms-rteFontSize-2">​Abstract<br></span></h2><p><span class="ms-rteThemeFontFace-1 ms-rteFontSize-2"><span style="color:#2e2e2e;box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px;padding:0px;"><span style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px;padding:0px;"><br></span></span></span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span class="ms-rteThemeFontFace-1 ms-rteFontSize-2"><span style="color:#2e2e2e;box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px;padding:0px;"><span style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px;padding:0px;">Several members of the FGF gene family<span style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px;padding:0px;"><span style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px;padding:0px;"> have been shown to intervene from various tissue sources to direct otic placode induction and </span>otic vesicle formation. In this study we define the roles of </span></span>FGF8, found in different expression domains during this process, in mice and chickens.
