An international group of leading investigators discuss recent progress of sensory structures in lower and higher vertebrates. Experts in two relevant fields–the cell cycle and mitogenic growth factors–present insightful contributions in the search for precursors and/or stem cells in each sense organ plus the signals which regulate those precursors’ differentiation both in normal development and regeneration.
