    Glossary Notch signaling

    cell communication system regulating development and tissue maintenance

    Notch signaling is a fundamental communication system used by cells to control various developmental processes and maintain tissue homeostasis. It involves interactions between neighboring cells through the Notch receptor and its ligands, leading to changes in gene expression that influence cell fate decisions, such as differentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis. This pathway is crucial in many biological contexts, including the development of hair follicles and the regulation of stem cells.
