Formation of neural and sensory progenitors in the inner ear requires Sox2 in mammals,
and in other species is thought to rely on both Sox2 and Sox3. How Sox2 and/or Sox3 …

Auditory dysfunction is the most prevalent injury associated with blast overpressure

In zebrafish, sensory epithelia and neuroblasts of the inner ear form simultaneously in
abutting medial and lateral domains, respectively, in the floor of the otic vesicle. Previous …
