Identifying the molecular mechanisms of response to systemic therapy in prostate cancer remains crucial. Here, the authors apply single cell-ATAC and RNAseq to models of early treatment response and resistance to enzalutamide and identify chromatin and gene expression patterns that can predict treatment response.
