Where this comes from

Abstract

Understanding the ontogeny of distinct hematopoietic cell types remains a challenge. In this issue, Schraml et al. contribute to unraveling the complexity of a central component of the mononuclear phagocyte system by using a new in vivo approach to trace the progeny of common dendritic cell precursors.
