FOXO dictates initiation of B cell development and myeloid restriction in common lymphoid progenitors

The paper shows that FOXO1 and FOXO3 are essential for B cell development and myeloid restriction in common lymphoid progenitors, with their combined loss causing developmental block and loss of B cell lineage.

A model for the intrinsic limit of cancer therapy: duality of treatment-induced cell death and treatment-induced stemness

This paper presents a model showing how cancer treatments can induce stemness, leading to tumor recurrence, and suggests optimizing dosing to avoid this.
