title: Notch signaling in T cell development.
abstract: Notch signaling regulates cell fate decisions during development. Recent experiments suggest that Notch signaling is essential for initial commitment to the T cell lineage and may function together with signals from the pre-TCR and the TCR to regulate subsequent steps of T cell development.
