Model showing the secreted factors and molecular pathways that regulate otocyst DV patterning. Lateral view (left) and oblique cross-sectional view (right) of the developing chick otocyst. Some of these factors (FGFs) are secreted by cells in tissues surrounding the otocyst (e.g. head mesenchyme), whereas others (WNTs and BMPs) are secreted by cells in the otocyst wall and surrounding tissues (e.g. dorsal spinal cord). Purple indicates the Dlx5 expression domain.
