Notch2-mediated plasticity between marginal zone and follicular B cells

Notch signalling is central to marginal zone B cell development, but it is unclear what path this development takes in vivo. Here the authors use a mouse that lacks these cells to show that transgenic induction of Notch2 is sufficient for development of marginal zone B cells via transdifferentiation...
