Cytoskeletal remodeling in lymphocyte activation.

abstract：:Cytokine receptor signaling plays an essential role in the early stages of lymphocyte development. Signals through various cytokine receptors - such as c-kit, flt3/flk2, CXCR4, the IL-7 receptor and the IL-15 receptor - are known to promote the expansion and survival of uncommitted progenitor cells as well as their mi...
