Notch signalling is deregulated in several cancers; therefore, strategies targeting this pathway are currently being explored. Here the authors report a pro-apoptotic function of Notch3 in endothelial cells; consequently, when Notch3 is silenced in stroma cells, tumour growth and angiogenesis are increased.
