Competition in notch signaling with cis enriches cell fate decisions. by Pau Formosa-Jordan, Marta Ibañes

“…This switch relies on the competition between Notch signaling sources, which share the same receptor but differ in their signaling efficiency. We propose that the role of cis-interactions and their signaling on fine-grained patterning and cell fate decisions is dependent on whether they drive cis-inhibition or cis-activation, which could be controlled during development. …”
