Abstract

During development, stem cells give rise to specialised cell types in a tightly regulated, spatiotemporal manner to drive the formation of complex three-dimensional tissues. While mechanistic insights into the gene regulatory pathways that guide cell fate choices are emerging, how morphogenetic changes are coordinated with cell fate specification remains a fundamental question in organogenesis and adult tissue homeostasis. The requirement of cell contacts for Notch signalling makes it a central pathway capable of linking dynamic cellular rearrangements during tissue morphogenesis with stem cell function. Here, we highlight recent studies that support a critical role for the Notch pathway in translating microenvironmental cues into cell fate decisions, guiding the development of diverse organ systems.
