Decoding the epigenetics of persister states in ovarian cancer

Anniina Färkkilä · 2026-01-06

Dumbrava et al. map a unified epigenetically primed persister state in high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma using single-nucleus multi-omics. Their work uncovers a chromatin-encoded tolerance program that precedes transcriptional change, revealing therapeutic options and motivating deeper spatiotemporal mapping of persister cells.
