Longitudinal single-cell RNA sequencing of patient-derived primary cells reveals drug-induced infidelity in stem cell hierarchy

Drug resistance is one of the major causes of cancer-related deaths. Here, the authors using single cell RNA-seq of oral squamous cell carcinoma patient samples pre- and post-cisplatin treatment show that phenotypically homogenous cell populations display cell state plasticity, with poised chromatin...
