Notch2 signaling sensitizes endothelial cells to apoptosis by negatively regulating the key protective molecule survivin.

<h4>Background</h4>Notch signaling pathway controls key functions in vascular and endothelial cells (ECs) where Notch4 plays a major role. However, little is known about the contribution of other Notch receptors. This study investigated regulation of Notch2 and further examined its impli...
