Lymphoid to myeloid cell trans-differentiation is determined by C/EBPβ structure and post-translational modifications.

The transcription factor C/EBPβ controls differentiation, proliferation, and functionality of many cell types, including innate immune cells. A detailed molecular understanding of how C/EBPβ directs alternative cell fates remains largely elusive. A multitude of signal-dependent post-translational mo...
