In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Moon et al. (2017) and Köhler et al. (2017) use in vivo lineage tracing to demonstrate that these two possibilities may occur downstream of the same pro-tumorigenic lesions, depending on environmental factors or the anatomical location.enghttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Location, Location, Location: Spatio-Temporal Cues That Define the Cell of Origin in Melanoma.editorialAttribution 4.0 International29100006open access
