Cell-cell signaling is a central process in the formation of multicellular organisms. Notch (N)
is the receptor of a conserved signaling pathway that regulates numerous developmental
decisions, and the misregulation of N has been linked to various physiological and
developmental disorders. The endocytosis of N and its ligands is a key mechanism by which
N-mediated cell-cell signaling is developmentally regulated. We review here the recent
findings that have highlighted the importance and complexity of this regulation.
