    IL-27 limits HSPC differentiation during infection and protects from stem cell exhaustion

    Daniel L Aldridge, Zachary Lanzar ... Christopher A Hunter
    Functional analyses showcase that in the absence of IL-27, hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells are more likely to become monocytes during toxoplasmosis, making them less responsive after infection.
