Notch signalling: a simple pathway becomes complex

Bray, Sarah J.·2006·Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology

Abstract

A small number of signalling pathways are used iteratively to regulate cell fates, cell proliferation and cell death in development. Notch is the receptor in one such pathway, and is unusual in that most of its ligands are also transmembrane proteins; therefore signalling is restricted to neighbouring cells. Although the intracellular transduction of the Notch signal is remarkably simple, with no secondary messengers, this pathway functions in an enormous diversity of developmental processes and its dysfunction is implicated in many cancers.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • One proposal is that osteosarcoma begins when osteoblastic lineage cells transform malignantly at different differentiation stages, with pathways including Notch, Wnt, and RTK promoting uncontrolled proliferation.

    “Osteosarcoma cells are thought to originate from the malignant transformation of cells within the osteoblastic lineage at any stage of differentiation, which is controlled by numerous cellular signalling pathways (for example, Notch, Wnt and RTK) that can initiate uncontrolled proliferation 202,203,204,205 .”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
