Role of Lyn in B cells[edit]

Two separate editors have now deleted the following text and citations without explanation:

In B cells, Lyn sets the threshold of cell signaling and maintains the balance between activation and inhibition. Lyn thus functions as a rheostat that modulates signaling rather than as a binary on-off switch.^[1]^[2]^[3]
