The light-sensitive neural retina (NR) and the retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE) develop from a common primordium, the optic vesicle, raising the question of how they acquire and maintain distinct identities. Here, we demonstrate that sustained misexpression of the Chx10 homeobox gene in the presumptive RPE in chick suppresses accumulation of melanin pigments and promotes ectopic NR-like neural differentiation...
Epibranchial placodes are local thickenings of the surface ectoderm, which give rise to sensory neurons of the distal cranial ganglia. The development of these placodes has remained unclear due to the lack of any definitive marker for these structures. We show here that the chick transcription factor, cSox3, is expressed in four lateral patches at the rostral edge of the epibranchial arches and that...
