Notch signaling is a driver of glandular stem cell activity and regenerative migration after damage.
Article in The EMBO journal, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Organoid models have significantly enhanced our understanding of adult stem cell function, however, uncovering regulatory mechanisms governing rare and often quiescent stem cells in glandular organs remains challenging. Here, we employ an integrative multi-omics approach, combining single-cell RNA sequencing, bulk ATAC and RNA sequencing, to profile the cellular populations and signaling pathways characterizing a mouse salivary gland organoid model across different temporal stages and after radiation-induced damage. Our findings identify Sox9- and Itgb1/Cd44-expressing cells as primitive adult stem/progenitor populations with a critical migratory role in tissue repair. Notch signaling is a key driver of self-renewal and migration in response to irradiation. Additionally, scRNA-seq analysis of irradiated salivary gland tissue confirms these findings in an in vivo setting. Extending these findings to murine and patient-derived salivary, mammary and thyroid gland organoids, we reveal the conserved role of Notch signaling in coordinating stem/progenitor cell-mediated regeneration across glandular tissues. These insights position Notch signaling as a central regulator of glandular stem cell-like populations and as a promising therapeutic target for enhancing glandular tissue regeneration following cancer therapies.
