www.biorxiv.org Androgen stimulation rapidly reorganizes temporal 3D genome and epigenome states to trigger... Introduction Androgen receptor (AR)-mediated transcription drives prostate cancer progression and remains a key therapeutic target. AR is activated by androgens, translocating to the nucleus to bind...
