Astrocytes negatively regulate neurogenesis through the Jagged1-mediated Notch pathway.

TL;DR: Astrocytes negatively regulate neurogenesis through the Notch pathway, and endocytosis of Notch ligand Jagged1 in astroCytes and Notch signaling from astrocyte to neural stem/progenitor cells depends on the intermediate filament proteins GFAP and vimentin.

Dynamic regulation of Notch signaling in neural progenitor cells.

TL;DR: The role of Notch signaling in proliferation and differentiation of neural progenitor cells is highlighted and under the control of more complex and dynamic regulation than previously thought.

Signalling pathways that control vertebrate haematopoietic stem cell specification

TL;DR: Current knowledge of the intraembryonic signals required for the specification of HSCs in vertebrates are reviewed.

Regulation and Phylogeny of Skeletal Muscle Regeneration

TL;DR: An overview of some of the main regulatory cellular and molecular players involved in skeletal muscle repair is provided and provides an overview of how muscle repair mechanisms have evolved over the years.

NUMB-ing down cancer by more than just a NOTCH

TL;DR: The role of Numb in the maintenance of the normal stem cell compartment is discussed, as a starting point to interpret the tumor suppressor function of NUM in the context of the cancer stem cell hypothesis.

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.
