BLIMP1 controls GC B cell expansion and exit through regulating cell cycle progression and key transcription factors BCL6 and IRF4
BLIMP1 is expressed in a subset of GCBCs. Conter et al. have shown that BLIMP1 intrinsically regulates multiple key processes in GCBCs, including positive selection, cell-cycle progression, isotype sw...

I've seen a child with tetanus, I've treated near fatal infections after chicken pox, and I've pronounced children dead from COVID whose parents refused to have them vaccinated. We have lost our minds... and are about to lose so many of our precious children.

Vaccines against COVID-19 saved over 20 million lives in the first year alone, according to a study in Lancet Infectious Diseases. Anti vaxxers conveniently ignore such stats.
