Abstract
Notch signaling defines an evolutionarily ancient cell interaction mechanism, which plays a fundamental role in metazoan development. Signals exchanged between neighboring cells through the Notch receptor can amplify and consolidate molecular differences, which eventually dictate cell fates. Thus, Notch signals control how cells respond to intrinsic or extrinsic developmental cues that are necessary to unfold specific developmental programs. Notch activity affects the implementation of differentiation, proliferation, and apoptotic programs, providing a general developmental tool to influence organ formation and morphogenesis.

Notch 1 signaling regulates peripheral T cell activation

TL;DR: Notch 1 signaling may play an important role in regulating naive T cell activation and homeostasis through inhibition of AKT and GSK3beta phosphorylation following Notch 1 engagement.

Cellular commitment in the developing cerebellum

TL;DR: The anatomical structure of human and mouse cerebellum, the cellular composition of developing cerebellums, and the underlying gene expression programs involved in cell fate commitments in the cerebellar development are highlighted.

Neuralized functions as an E3 ubiquitin ligase during Drosophila development.

TL;DR: It is shown that Neu is required at the plasma membrane for functional activity and that its RING finger domain acts as an E3 ubiquitin ligase, suggesting that the role of NeU is to target components of the N-Dl pathway for ubiquitination, allowing for propagation and/or regulation of the signal.

Notch signaling: its role in epidermal homeostasis and in the pathogenesis of skin diseases.

TL;DR: Notch activation results in the promotion of growth arrest and the onset of differentiation, therefore suggesting that specific Notch activation may regulate skin homeostasis by balancing these processes, i.e. limiting the occurrence of psoriasis and skin cancers.

The Association of Notch2 and NF-κB Accelerates RANKL-Induced Osteoclastogenesis

TL;DR: It is shown that RANKL induces expression of Jagged1 and Notch2 in bone marrow macrophages during osteoclast differentiation and that both proteins are recruited to the NFATc1 promoter, driving its expression.

Notch-1 signalling requires ligand-induced proteolytic release of intracellular domain.

TL;DR: It is shown that signalling by a constitutively active membrane-bound Notch-1 protein requires the proteolytic release of the Notch intracellular domain (NICD), which interacts preferentially with CSL.

Signalling downstream of activated mammalian Notch.

TL;DR: It is shown that activated forms of mNotch associate with the human analogue of Su(H), KBF2/RBP-JK and act as transcriptional activators through theKBF2-binding sites of the HES-1 promoter and block MyoD-induced myogenesis5-7.

Notch signaling : Signal transduction

TL;DR: The Notch/Lin-12/Glp-1 receptor family mediates the specification of numerous cell fates during development in Drosophila and Caenorhabditis elegans and putative components of the signaling cascade are identified, including a conserved family of extracellular ligands and two cellular factors that may associate with the Notch Intracellular domain.
