Dendritic cell type 3 arises from Ly6C+ monocyte-dendritic cell progenitors

Delineating the lineage development of dendritic cells (DCs) is challenging as these cells show overlapping phenotypes with monocytes and other cells. Using single-cell sequencing and fate mapping approaches, Liu et  al. demonstrate that murine DCs develop through three lineages, with DC3s developing from Ly6C+ monocyte-dendritic cell progenitors (MDPs) through pro-DC3s.
