The Notch pathway is crucial for development and repair, but its dysfunction causes cancer and disease. Manipulating this signaling network offers therapeutic potential and advances tissue engineering.

Area of Science:

  • Developmental Biology
  • Regenerative Medicine
  • Biomaterials Science

Background:

  • The Notch pathway is an evolutionarily conserved signaling network vital for embryonic organogenesis and adult tissue repair.
  • Dysregulation of Notch signaling is implicated in oncogenesis, particularly lymphoid cancers, and various inherited human diseases.
  • Therapeutic strategies targeting Notch signaling intensity hold significant clinical promise.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the Notch signaling pathway's components and its roles in organ construction and repair.
  • To summarize Notch-related pathologies and current bioengineering approaches for modulating Notch signaling.
  • To explore future applications of Notch pathway manipulation in tissue engineering and stem cell biology.

Main Methods:
