Abstract:
Notch signaling pathway facilitates important cellular functions of the host. Notch signal is essential for the development of T cells, and the role of Notch in fine tuning of αβ versus γδ T cell lineage commitment is fundamentally different in mice and human. The Notch family of cell surface receptor likewise plays a critical role in regulating T cell activation, and influences T cell response both intrinsically and through the local environment. In this review, we take an overview of Notch signaling pathway and also emphasize the role of Notch signal in T cell lineage differentiation and activating effector function of peripheral T cells.

Fates of Pyruvate
In aerobic organisms, pyruvate is metabolized via the citric acid cycle to produce reduced coenzymes NADH and FADH2. These coenzymes are then oxidized in the electron transport chain to produce ATP and, in the process, regenerate the NAD+ and FAD. As seen in some cell types and organisms, fermentation...
