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.

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.

Notch and Presenilin Regulate Cellular Expansion and Cytokine Secretion but Cannot Instruct Th1/Th2 Fate Acquisition

TL;DR: It is found that Notch ligands only augment cytokine production during T cell differentiation in the presence of polarizing IL-12 and IL-4, and that neither presenilin proteins nor RBP-J were required for cytokine-induced Th1/Th2 fate selection.

Mastermind-like 1 Is a Specific Coactivator of β-Catenin Transcription Activation and Is Essential for Colon Carcinoma Cell Survival

TL;DR: This study identified Mastermind-like 1 (Maml1), which is thought to be a specific coactivator for the Notch pathway, as a coactivators for beta-catenin, and found that Maml1 participates in the Wnt signaling by modulating the beta- catenin/TCF activity.

Notch signaling in normal and disease States: possible therapies related to glycosylation.

TL;DR: The role of glycosylation in the normal functioning of the Notch pathway is focused on and possible roles for therapeutic targeting of POFUT1 and Fringe in Notch-related human diseases are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Oscillator mechanism of notch pathway in the segmentation clock

TL;DR: Of interest, another Notch effector, Hes1, is cyclically expressed by many cell types such as neuroblasts, suggesting that this clock is widely distributed and regulates many biological events.
Journal ArticleDOI

Self-refinement of Notch activity through the transmembrane protein Crumbs: modulation of γ-Secretase activity

TL;DR: It is shown that the transmembrane protein Crumbs is involved in a feedback mechanism used by Notch to refine its own activation domain at the Drosophila wing margin, indicating a novel molecular mechanism of the regulation of Notch signal and also that defects in Crumbs might be involved in similar abnormal γ‐Secretase complex activity observed in Alzheimer's disease.
