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.

Dynamic Filopodia Transmit Intermittent Delta-Notch Signaling to Drive Pattern Refinement during Lateral Inhibition

TL;DR: It is shown that conventional models of Delta-Notch signaling cannot account for bristle spacing or the gradual refinement of this pattern, and that intermittent signaling induced by these filopodial dynamics generates a type of structured noise that is uniquely suited to the generation of well-ordered, tissue-wide epithelial patterns.

Notch1 augments NF-κB activity by facilitating its nuclear retention

TL;DR: There are two ‘waves’ of NF‐κB activation: an initial, Notch‐independent phase, and a later, sustained activation of NF-κB, which is Notch dependent, these data suggest.

Molecular Control of Cortical Dendrite Development

TL;DR: It is suggested that extracellular signals play an important role in regulating every aspect of dendritic development and thereby exert a critical influence on cortical connectivity.

Inhibition of Notch Signaling in Glioblastoma Targets Cancer Stem Cells via an Endothelial Cell Intermediate

TL;DR: A novel three‐dimensional organotypic “explant” system of surgical GBM specimens that preserves cytoarchitecture and tumor stroma along with tumor cells is used and suggests a critical role for tumor endothelial cells in GBM stem cell maintenance, mediated at least in part by Notch signaling.

Development of human lymphoid cells

TL;DR: Lineage decisions are under control of transcription factors, and studies performed in the past decade have provided insight into transcriptional control of human lymphoid development, the results of which are summarized and discussed in this review.

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.
