Notch Signaling in Bone

Molecular Biology

A researcher is investigating signaling pathways that regulate bone cell differentiation. They are studying the Notch pathway, which involves transmembrane receptors that are cleaved upon ligand binding to release an intracellular domain that translocates to the nucleus. Regarding Notch signaling in bone:
