Studying the cell composition of acral melanoma at the single-cell level could provide some clues about its poor response to immunotherapy. Here, the authors analyse acral and cutaneous melanoma patient samples using single-cell RNA-sequencing, and reveal a severe immunosuppressive state in acral melanomas
