Notch signaling defines an evolutionarily ancient cell interaction mechanism, which plays a fundamental role in metazoan development, providing a general developmental tool to influence organ formation and morphogenesis.
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.

Key factors in the organized chaos of early T cell development

TL;DR: Three factors that regulate thymocyte differentiation up to and including the expression of the first products of antigen receptor gene rearrangements are reviewed, including the archetypal developmental regulator Notch, intrinsic signals emanating from antigen-receptor complexes, and trans conditioning, which reflects communication between different subsets of thymocytes.

Notch signaling--constantly on the move.

TL;DR: Endocytosis and membrane trafficking of DSL ligands, Notch and modulators can determine the competence of cells to send or receive signals that ensure reproducibility in generating cell types regulated by Notch signaling.

Notch/RBP-J Signaling Regulates Epidermis/Hair Fate Determination of Hair Follicular Stem Cells

TL;DR: It is suggested that Notch/RBP-J signaling regulates the cell fate determination of hair follicular stem cells at the bulge region.

New insights into cell cycle control from the Drosophila endocycle

TL;DR: Recent work from Drosophila is beginning to reveal how developmental signals promote the transition from the mitotic cycle to the endocycle, as well as what drives endocyCLE progression.

Notch 1 and 3 receptor signaling modulates vascular smooth muscle cell growth, apoptosis, and migration via a CBF-1/RBP-Jk dependent pathway

TL;DR: It is suggested that endogenous Notch receptors and downstream target genes control vascular cell fate in vitro and Notch signaling, therefore, represents a novel therapeutic target for disease states in which changes inascular cell fate occur in vivo.

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.
