## Abstract A fundamental component of signaling initiated by the BCR and CD19 is the activation of phosphoinositide 3βkinase. Downstream of phosphoinositide 3βkinase, the protein kinase AKT phosphorylates several substrates, including members of the forkhead box subgroup O (Foxo) transcription fac

β¦ Synopsis
Marginal zone (MZ) B cells, together with other strategically located innate cells, constitute the first line of defense against blood-borne microorganisms, viruses and toxins in the spleen. Their fast and efficient protective antibody responses are well characterized; however, much less is known of their interactions with other cell types during immune responses. Recent work has demonstrated that MZ B cells can directly activate T cells; and MZ B cells also interact with other antigen presenting cells, transporting and concentrating antigen during the course of T-dependent and T-independent immune responses.

## Abstract Splenic marginal zone lymphoma (SMZL) and nodal marginal zone lymphoma (NMZL) are newly defined, separate clinicopathological entities. Both are rare lymphoma types, with low reproducibility in the diagnosis, although a conjunction of molecular and clinical studies seems to be now facil
