Summary:
The signaling specificity conveyed by distinct combination of NOTCH receptors/ligands has remained elusive. In this issue of Cancer Discovery, through the development of ligand-specific NOTCH inhibitors, Kangsamaksin and colleagues uncovered unique signaling outcomes downstream of DLL- and JAG-receptor activation and demonstrated their effects in the suppression of tumor angiogenesis.
