LGR4 and LGR5 regulate hair cell differentiation in the sensory epithelium of the developing mouse cochlea.
In the developing cochlea, Wnt/β-catenin signaling positively regulates the proliferation of precursors and promotes the formation of hair cells by up-regulating Atoh1 expression. Not much, however, is known about the regulation of Wnt/β-catenin activity in the cochlea. In multiple tissues, the acti...
