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.

Analysis of gain-of-function mutations of the lin-12 gene of Caenorhabditis elegans.

TL;DR: The data suggest that self-association of the putative lin-12-encoded receptor leads to its activation, and that certain gain-of-function mutations result in ligand-independent activation.
Journal ArticleDOI

SUP-17, a Caenorhabditis elegans ADAM protein related to Drosophila KUZBANIAN, and its role in LIN-12/NOTCH signalling

TL;DR: It is shown that sup-17 encodes a member of the ADAM family of metalloproteases, which functions in Drosophila neurogenesis and the vertebrate ADAM10 protein, and that Sup-17 can act cell autonomously to facilitate lin-12 activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Early pancreatic development requires the vertebrate Suppressor of Hairless (RBPJ) in the PTF1 bHLH complex.

TL;DR: It is shown that early in pancreatic development, active PTF1a requires interaction with RBPJ, the vertebrate Suppressor of Hairless, within a stable trimeric DNA-binding complex (PTF1).
Journal ArticleDOI

Presenilin-1 and Presenilin-2 Exhibit Distinct yet Overlapping γ-Secretase Activities

TL;DR: The distinct yet overlapping enzymatic properties of the PS1 γ-secretase complex and the PS2 γ/substantially higher specific activity imply that these two putative aspartyl class proteases may contribute to different biological processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

The metalloprotease-disintegrin Kuzbanian participates in Notch activation during growth and patterning of Drosophila imaginal discs

TL;DR: Genetic evidence indicating that the metalloprotease-disintegrin kuzbanian is a new component of the Notch signalling pathway and is involved in Notch activation is presented and differences in the phenotypes of loss-of-function Notch and kuzBanian mutations suggest the existence of alternative Kuzbania-independent mechanisms that generate Notch functional receptors.
