In this issue of Blood, Bedekovics et al have demonstrated that a multifunctional molecule of the ubiquitin system ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase L1 (UCH-L1) is induced in diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCLs), and that levels of this molecule are higher in germinal center (GC) B-cell DLBCL (GCB-DLBCL) compared with activated B-cell DLBCL (ABC-DLBCL) and predict poor outcomes.
