【摘要】 <正>Recent zebrafish studies show that Dlx3b-Dlx4b not only functions in inner ear specification,they also function during specification of sensory hair cells.Because loss of Dlx3b-4b prevents otic hair cell formation,and a local expansion of Dlx3b-4b results in extra otic hair cells,we hypothesize that otic sensory cells are largely更多还原
