In this issue of Cancer Discovery, Halbritter and colleagues utilize single-cell RNA sequencing to dissect the cellular hierarchy in Langerhans cell histiocytosis. They identified a remarkably consistent composition of 14 cellular subsets across all patients with a range of clinical spectrums consistent with a shared developmental hierarchy driven by key transcriptional regulators.See related article by Halbritter et al., p. 1406.
