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.

Visualization of embryonic neural stem cells using Hes promoters in transgenic mice.

TL;DR: The results suggest that pHes-EGFP transgenic mice can be used to explore similarities and differences among neural stem cells during development and suggest that they retain the capacity to self-renew.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quantitative Dissection of the Notch:CSL Interaction: Insights into the Notch-mediated Transcriptional Switch

TL;DR: The results support an emerging molecular mechanism for the displacement of co-repressors from DNA-bound CSL by NICD and the ability of a short RAM peptides to dissociate NICD:CSL interaction in cellular lysates was demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cell cycle-dependent sequencing of cell fate decisions in Caenorhabditis elegans vulva precursor cells

TL;DR: The results suggest that lin- 12 participates in two developmental decisions separable by cell cycle phase: lin-12 must act prior to the end of VPC S phase to influence a 1 degrees versus 2 degrees cell fate choice, but must act after VPCS phase to Influence a 3 degrees versus2 degrees cell Fate choice.
Journal ArticleDOI

The enhancer of split complex of Drosophila includes four Notch-regulated members of the bearded gene family.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the expression of both m2 and m6 is responsive to N receptor activity and that both genes are apparently direct targets of regulation by the N-activated transcription factor Suppressor of Hairless, suggesting functional diversification within the Brd protein family.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structures of CSL, Notch and Mastermind proteins: piecing together an active transcription complex.

TL;DR: New insights into transcriptional regulation in the Notch pathway are revealed, including the recruitment of the transcriptional coactivator Mastermind to the complex of CSL, NotchIC, and an active transcription complex composed of notchIC and Mastermind.
