Deskripsi

NOTCH signalling stimulates oligodendrocyte progenitor cell proliferation but how this regulates demyelinating disease is unclear. Here, the authors show that an IL-17 adaptor protein, Act1, interacts with the C-terminal fragment of NOTCH1 (NICD) to activate cell proliferation and an inflammatory response.
