Differentiation of Effector CD4 T Cell Populations

TL;DR: This review summarizes the discovery, functions, and relationships among Th cells; the cytokine and signaling requirements for their development; the networks of transcription factors involved in their differentiation; the epigenetic regulation of their key cytokines and transcription factors; and human diseases involving defective CD4 T cell differentiation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Growth Factors, Matrices, and Forces Combine and Control Stem Cells

TL;DR: Multifaceted technologies are increasingly required to produce and interrogate cells ex vivo, to build predictive models, and, ultimately, to enhance stem cell integration in vivo for therapeutic benefit.
Journal ArticleDOI

MicroRNA control of signal transduction.

TL;DR: New evidence suggests that miRNAs affect the responsiveness of cells to signalling molecules such as transforming growth factor-β, WNT, Notch and epidermal growth factor, which serves as nodes of signalling networks that ensure homeostasis and regulate cancer, metastasis, fibrosis and stem cell biology.
Journal ArticleDOI

Balancing forces: architectural control of mechanotransduction

TL;DR: Sustained disruptions in tensional homeostasis can be caused by alterations in the extracellular matrix, allowing it to serve as a mechanically based memory-storage device that can perpetuate a disease or restore normal tissue behaviour.

Crystal Structure of the CSL-Notch-Mastermind Ternary Complex Bound to DNA

TL;DR: Ternary complex formation induces a substantial conformational change within CSL, suggesting a molecular mechanism for the conversion of CSL from a repressor to an activator.
Journal ArticleDOI

Notch2, but not Notch1, is required for proximal fate acquisition in the mammalian nephron

TL;DR: It is reported that Notch2 acts non-redundantly to control the processes of nephron segmentation through an Rbp-J-dependent process and establishes distinct (non- redundant), instructive roles for Notch receptors in nephrons segmentation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Periodic Notch inhibition by Lunatic Fringe underlies the chick segmentation clock

TL;DR: It is proposed that Lfng establishes a negative feedback loop that implements periodic inhibition of Notch, which in turn controls the rhythmic expression of cyclic genes in the chick presomitic mesoderm, which provides a molecular basis for the oscillator underlying the avian segmentation clock.
Journal ArticleDOI

Embryonic lethality in mice homozygous for a processing-deficient allele of Notch1

TL;DR: It is reported that the phenotypes associated with a single point mutation at the intramembranous processing site of Notch1, Val1,744→Gly, resemble the null Notch 1 phenotype.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cysteine-rich module structure reveals a fulcrum for integrin rearrangement upon activation.

TL;DR: This observation suggests that the highly bent αVβ3 structure represents the inactive conformation and that release of contacts with I-EGF modules 2 and 3 triggers a switchblade-like opening motion extending the integrin into its active conformation.
