... mesoderm at presomite stages. Functionally, we found that initial synchrony and the first ∼6-8 oscillation cycles occurred even when Notch signaling was impaired, revealing similarities to previous findings made in zebrafish embryos. Finally, we show that a spatial period gradient is present at the onset...

... expression of Notch1 receptor and Dll4 ligand between the neuronal precursors at the VSN differentiation dichotomy. Our experiments show that Notch signaling is required for effective differentiation of V2R/basal VSNs. In fact, Notch1 loss of function in neuronal progenitors diverts them to the V1R/apical...

... that canonical Notch signaling is induced during the initial stages of cartilage callus formation in both mesenchymal cells and chondrocytes following surgical mandibulectomy. We also show that modulation of Notch signaling during the initial post-operative period results in lasting changes to regenerate bone...

... quiescence, it remains unclear whether intrinsic and extrinsic cues coordinate to control quiescence and how cue coordination is achieved. Here, we report that Notch signaling coordinates neuroblast intrinsic temporal programs with extrinsic nutrient cues to regulate quiescence in Drosophila . When Notch...

... component of lateral inhibition mechanism by inhibiting Notch activity. In addition, D1ICD promotes neurogenesis in a Notch signaling-independent manner. We show that D1ICD binds to Erk1/2 in neural crest stem cells and inhibits the phosphorylation of Erk1/2. In summary, our results indicate that D1ICD...

.... Although it is widely accepted that B1 cells originate early in fetal life, whether or not they arise from hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) is still unclear. In order to shed light on the B1 cell origin, we set out to determine whether their lineage specification is dependent on Notch signaling, which...

..., is expressed by second heart field (SHF) progenitors at time-points that are crucial in SHF biology. Dll4-mediated Notch signaling is required for maintaining an adequate pool of SHF progenitors, such that Dll4 knockout results in a reduction in proliferation and an increase in apoptosis. A reduced SHF...

... interneurons. In the differentiation of V2a and V2b cells, Notch signaling promotes V2b fate at the expense of V2a fate. Later, V2b cells extend axons along the ipsilateral side of the spinal cord and express the inhibitory transmitter GABA. Notch signaling has been reported to inhibit the axonal outgrowth...

... to arise from a common thymic epithelial progenitor cell (TEPC). However, the mechanisms controlling cTEC and mTEC production from the common TEPC are not understood. Here, we show that emergence of the earliest mTEC lineage-restricted progenitors requires active NOTCH signaling in progenitor TEC...

..., the putative guanine nucleotide exchange factor for Rab GTPases, is involved in restricting the apical delivery of Sanpodo to control spatiotemporal Notch activation following asymmetric cell division in Drosophila sensory organs. Asymmetric cell division Notch signaling Rab8 Stratum Guanine...

...Juan C. Luna-Escalante; Pau Formosa-Jordan; Marta Ibañes ABSTRACT During metazoan development, Notch signaling drives spatially coordinated differentiation by establishing communication between adjacent cells. This occurs through either lateral inhibition, in which adjacent cells acquire distinct...

... and adult brain differ considerably, but Notch signaling and inhibitor of DNA-binding (ID) factors are pivotal in both. Notch and ID factors regulate NSC maintenance; however, it has been difficult to evaluate how these pathways potentially interact. Here, we combined mathematical modeling with analysis...

... for maintaining their differentiation. Loss of Nerfin-1 activates Notch signaling, which promotes neuron-to-NB reversion. Repressing Notch signaling largely rescues dedifferentiation in nerfin-1 mutant clones. Thus, we conclude that Nerfin-1 represses Notch activity in medulla neurons and prevents them from...

..., we found that the Notch signaling pathway was dramatically downregulated in Brg1- deficient duodenum. Remarkably, overexpression of the Notch1 intercellular domain (ICD) partially reversed the prognosis of intestinal Brg1 mutant mice. Notch1 ICD overexpression rescued morphogenesis, prevented over...

... of Notch signaling. Although loss of Epb41l5 does not significantly alter the pattern of neural progenitor cells (NPCs) specified as neurons at the neural plate stage, it delays their delamination and differentiation after neurulation when NPCs normally acquire organized apical junctional complexes (AJCs...

... pathways, were not affected but the intensity of Notch signaling was severely diminished. Although Notch1 and Notch2 receptors were expressed normally, nuclear Notch1 intracellular domain (N1ICD) expression was severely reduced. Postnatal development analysis revealed that in cilia-deficient CECs...

In addition, Meis1 is required for eye patterning by controlling a set of eye territory-specific...
