Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare and aggressive non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) that originates in B cells and occurs in secondary follicles of the lymph nodes.1 MCL accounts for roughly 6% of all lymphomas diagnosed annually, and despite its relatively low incidence, the aggressive course of MCL means it can quickly become a life-threatening disease. Understanding the origin and progression of MCL is crucial to identify new targets for drug development studies.
