Where this comes from

Abstract

The Notch pathway, which controls stem cell maintenance and cell differentiation, is activated in certain cancers and therefore constitutes a therapeutic target. Especially in invasive urothelial carcinoma, the pathway is inactivated instead, and drugs inhibiting Notch signaling are likely contra-indicated.
