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.

Investigating the Genetic Circuitry of Mastermind in Drosophila, a Notch Signal Effector

TL;DR: This work recovers 160 genes never before associated with Notch, extending the previous roster of genes that interact functionally with the Notch pathway and mastermind, and identifies novel Notch-associated GO categories, uncover nodes of integration between Notch and other signaling pathways, and unveil groups of modifiers that suggest the existence of notch-independent mastermind functions.

The N- and C-terminal regions of RBP-J interact with the ankyrin repeats of Notch1 RAMIC to activate transcription

TL;DR: Results indicate that the interactions between the N- and C-terminal regions of RBP-J and the ANK repeats of RAMIC are important for transactivation of RBp-J by RAMIC.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regulation of intrathymic T-cell development by Lunatic Fringe- Notch1 interactions.

TL;DR: It is revealed that low‐threshold intrathymic Notch1 signals instruct multipotent thymus‐seeding progenitors to suppress their B‐cell potential and choose the T‐cell fate, and that Delta‐like Notch ligands are functionally limiting in both the CMJ and SCZ microenvironmental niches.

Notch-GATA synergy promotes endoderm-specific expression of ref-1 in C. elegans

TL;DR: An enhancer is identified in the promoter of ref-1, a C. elegans Notch target, which promotes Notch-dependent expression in mesodermal and endodermal cells and it is shown thatendodermal expression involves the GATA transcription factor ELT-2, and that ELt-2 can bind LAG-1/CSL in vitro.

Msx2-interacting nuclear target protein (Mint) deficiency reveals negative regulation of early thymocyte differentiation by Notch/RBP-J signaling.

TL;DR: Notch/RBP-J signaling is required for generation of early T progenitors (ETP) and promotion of double-negative (DN) 4 cells from DN3 cells in thymocyte differentiation, and Msx2-interacting nuclear target protein (Mint) is an endogenous inhibitor of Notch regulation.
