Journal ArticleDOI

Notch signals control the fate of immature progenitor cells in the intestine

TL;DR: By modulating Notch activity in the mouse intestine, this work directly implicates Notch signals in intestinal cell lineage specification and shows that Notch activation is capable of amplifying the intestinal progenitor pool while inhibiting cell differentiation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Notch and Wnt signals cooperatively control cell proliferation and tumorigenesis in the intestine

TL;DR: Modulating Notch activity in mice carrying either a loss- or a gain-of-function mutation of Wnt signaling reveals a previously unknown oncogenic potential of Notch signaling in colorectal tumorigenesis that is supported by the analysis of human tumors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Concomitant Notch activation and p53 deletion trigger epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and metastasis in mouse gut.

TL;DR: A computational network-based and experimental approaches are combined to create a mouse model that recapitulates the cellular features observed in invasive human colorectal tumours and confirms that Notch activation and p53 deletion have a synergistic effect in activating EMT-like processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Notch lineages and activity in intestinal stem cells determined by a new set of knock-in mice.

TL;DR: A new series of transgenic mice were generated that allowed this work to formally prove that Notch1 and Notch2 are specifically expressed in crypt stem cells, and a novel Notch reporter mouse, Hes1-EmGFPSAT, demonstrated exclusive Notch activity in Crypt stem cells and absorptive progenitors.
