During development, signalling by members of the Notch family of cell surface receptors
plays a widespread role in the assignation of cell fates within the process of lateral inhibition.
This function of Notch is mediated by a well-established mechanism that relies on a ligand-
induced release of the intracellular domain of Notch (NICD) and the interaction of this
fragment with members of the CSL (CBF1, Suppressor of Hairless, Lag-1) family of
transcription factors within the nucleus. However, there is increasing evidence that Notch …

However, there is increasing evidence that Notch can signal in CSL-independent modes.
