Notch signaling activation suppresses v-Src-induced transformation of neural cells by restoring TGF-β-mediated differentiation.

<h4>Background</h4>We have been investigating how interruption of differentiation contributes to the oncogenic process and the possibility to reverse the transformed phenotype by restoring differentiation. In a previous report, we correlated the capacity of intracellular Notch (ICN) to s...
