The STATs on dendritic cell development

Immunity. 2008 Apr;28(4):490-2. doi: 10.1016/j.immuni.2008.03.006.

Abstract

Dendritic cells are a heterogeneous group of antigen presenting cells. In this issue of Immunity, Esashi et al. (2008) demonstrate how cytokine-receptor-regulated downstream transcription factors direct dendritic cell subpopulation differentiation from hematopoietic progenitor cells.
