The tectorial and otolithic membranes are extracellular matrices that cover the sensory epithelia of the inner ear. They are required for mechanotransduction and may influence hair-cell development. The mRNA expression patterns for two major glycoproteins of these matrices, alpha- and beta-tectorin,
## Abstract We have investigated the expression of FGF10 during ear development and the effect of an FGF10 null mutation on ear development. Our in situ hybridization data reveal expression of FGF10 in all three canal crista sensory epithelia and the cochlea anlage as well as all sensory neurons at
Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) signaling is crucial for the induction and growth of the ear, a sensory organ that involves intimate tissue interactions. Here, we report the abnormality of Fgf10 null ear and the identification of a cis-regulatory element directing otic expression of Fgf10. In Fgf10 n
