GATA3 induces human T-cell commitment by restraining Notch activity and repressing NK-cell fate

Strong Notch signalling promotes initial T cell lineage specification of lymphoid progenitors but is also permissive for thymic natural killer (NK) cell development. Here the authors show that GATA3 directs human T-lineage commitment by modulating Notch activity and repressing the NK programme.
