      Developmental biology: Our fly cousins' gut 

      Pitsouli, Chrysoula; Perrimon, N. (2008)
      What do we humans have in common with flies? Quite a lot, at least at the cellular and molecular levels. Our intestine, for instance, is similar to that of the fly, not only in function but also in its development and ...

      Homeostasis in Infected Epithelia: Stem Cells Take the Lead 

      Pitsouli, Chrysoula; Apidianakis, Yiorgos; Perrimon, N. (2009)
      To maintain tissue homeostasis and avoid disease, epithelial cells damaged by pathogens need to be readily replenished, and this is mainly achieved by the activation of stem cells. In this Short Review, we discuss recent ...

      The interplay between DSL proteins and ubiquitin ligases in Notch signaling 

      Pitsouli, Chrysoula; Delidakis, Christos (2005)
      Lateral inhibition is a pattern refining process that generates single neural precursors from a field of equipotent cells and is mediated via Notch signaling. Of the two Notch ligands Delta and Serrate, only the former was ...

      Overexpression of the m4 and mα genes of the E(spl)-Complex antagonizes Notch mediated lateral inhibition 

      Apidianakis, Yiorgos; Nagel, A. C.; Chalkiadaki, Angeliki; Preiss, A.; Delidakis, Christos (1999)
      Intercellular signalling mediated by Notch proteins is crucial to many cell fate decisions in metazoans. Its profound effects on cell fate and proliferation require that a complex set of responses involving positive and ...
