Hey1 and Hey2 control the spatial and temporal pattern of mammalian auditory hair cell differentiation downstream of Hedgehog signaling.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that in the murine cochlea, Hey1 and Hey2 control the spatiotemporal pattern of HC differentiation downstream of Hedgehog signaling, and this study identifies hedgehog signaling as a novel upstream regulator of their prosensory function in the mammalian coChlea.

HES1 Promotes Colorectal Cancer Cell Resistance To 5-Fu by Inducing Of EMT and ABC Transporter Proteins.

TL;DR: HES1 promotes chemoresistance to 5-Fu by prompting EMT and inducing of several ABC transporter genes, which might be a novel therapeutic target in CRC treatment.

Monogenic causes of stroke: now and the future

TL;DR: This review covers single-gene disorders which lead to stroke as a major phenotype, with a focus on those which cause cerebral small vessel disease (SVD), an area where there has been significant recent progress with findings that may inform us about the pathogenesis of SVD more broadly.

Mapping sites of O-glycosylation and fringe elongation on Drosophila Notch

TL;DR: Mass spectral analysis on endogenous Notch purified from Drosophila embryos found that the glycosylation states were similar to those found on Notch from S2 cells, providing foundational information for future studies investigating the mechanisms of how O-glycosylations regulates Notch activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

The mammary cellular hierarchy and breast cancer

TL;DR: The discovery, definition and regulation of the mammary cellular hierarchy are reviewed, and recent advances in in vivo lineage tracing are outlined that are challenging many of the assumptions regarding the behavior of mammary stem cells.

Notch signalling: a simple pathway becomes complex

TL;DR: Although the intracellular transduction of the Notch signal is remarkably simple, with no secondary messengers, this pathway functions in an enormous diversity of developmental processes and its dysfunction is implicated in many cancers.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.

Notch/gamma-secretase inhibition turns proliferative cells in intestinal crypts and adenomas into goblet cells.

TL;DR: This work shows a rapid, massive conversion of proliferative crypt cells into post-mitotic goblet cells after conditional removal of the common Notch pathway transcription factor CSL/RBP-J and indicates that γ-secretase inhibitors, developed for Alzheimer's disease, might be of therapeutic benefit in colorectal neoplastic disease.
