    Temporal Evolution of Cellular Heterogeneity during the Progression to Advanced AR-Negative Prostate Cancer

    Single-cell-based approaches revealed striking temporal changes to the transcriptome and chromatin accessibility which have identified the emergence of distinct cell populations, marked by differential expression of Ascl1 and Pou2f3, during the transition to neuroendocrine prostate cancer.
