Overactivation of Notch1 signaling induces ectopic hair cells in the mouse inner ear in an age-dependent manner.

During mouse inner ear development, Notch1 signaling first specifies sensory progenitors, and subsequently controls progenitors to further differentiate into either hair cells (HCs) or supporting cells (SCs). Overactivation of NICD (Notch1 intracellular domain) at early embryonic stages leads to ect...
