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.

Lethal giant discs, a novel C2 domain protein, restricts Notch activation during endocytosis

TL;DR: It is reported that Lgd is a novel, conserved C2-domain protein that regulates Notch receptor trafficking and affects Notch trafficking between the actions of Hrs and the late endosomal component Vps25.
Journal ArticleDOI

RAM-induced Allostery Facilitates Assembly of a Notch Pathway Active Transcription Complex.

TL;DR: This work provides a comprehensive thermodynamic, structural, and biochemical analysis of the RAM-CSL interaction for components from both mouse and worm, and shows that RAM and CSL form a high affinity complex in the presence or absence of DNA.
Journal ArticleDOI

An O-fucose site in the ligand binding domain inhibits Notch activation

TL;DR: The results indicate that glycosylation of an EGF domain proposed to be essential for ligand binding, EGF12, is crucial to the inhibition of Serrate-to-Notch signaling by Fringe, and elimination of three other highly conserved sites of O-fucosylation does not have detectable effects.
Journal ArticleDOI

Part-Time α-Secretases: The Functional Biology of ADAM 9, 10 and 17

TL;DR: The published data on the "non-APP" functions of all three ADAMs are summarized to fully characterize both the full functional portfolio of (candidate) alpha-secretases as well as their clinical relevance, which may go way beyond Alzheimer s Disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

A DNA Transcription Code for Cell-Specific Gene Activation by Notch Signaling

TL;DR: It is shown that the Notch-proneural transcriptional synergy critically requires a particular DNA site architecture ("SPS"), which consists of a pair of specifically-oriented S binding sites, which is an architectural DNA transcription code that programs a cell-specific pattern of gene expression.
