- Antagonistic Feedback Loops Involving Rau and Sprouty in the Drosophila Eye Control Neuronal and Glial Differentiation
Balanced feedback loops in a receptor tyrosine kinase network control glial and neuronal differentiation in the fly eye.
- The Duration of T Cell Stimulation Is a Critical Determinant of Cell Fate and Plasticity
The duration of T cell receptor contact with antigen modulates the pattern of downstream signaling to determine CD4+ T cell fate.
