B cell receptor activation leads to contrary outcomes in the absence and presence of co-stimulation. Here, the authors show transcription factor EB acts as a B cell receptor-controlled rheostat that balances activation-induced cell death with co-stimulatory rescue signals, collectively reprograming antigen-primed germinal center B cells for fate decisions.
