What’s in a Name? Cell Fate Reprogramming in Sarcomagenesis

Differentiation features in cancer cells are typically attributed to the cell of origin. In this issue of Cancer Cell, Drummond et al. demonstrate a transdifferentiation program apparent in rhabdomyosarcomas (cancers with skeletal muscle differentiation features) arising through cell fate reprogramming from a single oncogene activation in endothelial cell precursors.
