Keratin 5 marks cancer-propagating cells sustained by an osteopontin-producing niche in high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma
Mallikarjun Bidarimath, Coulter Q. Ralston, Nandini Bidarimath…·Alexander Yu. Nikitin
This study identifies KRT5-expressing cells as cancer-propagating cells in HGSC that depend on an OPN-producing niche for survival and chemoresistance.

Comparative single-cell atlases reveal injury-driven tubal epithelial regeneration as a window for ovarian carcinoma initiation
Coulter Q. Ralston, Andrea Flesken‐Nikitin, Dah‐Jiun Fu…·Alexander Yu. Nikitin
The paper compares single-cell transcriptomes of mouse and human tubal epithelium to show injury-driven regeneration in humans may contribute to ovarian cancer initiation.

Dysregulation of cell state dynamics during early stages of serous endometrial carcinogenesis
Andrea Flesken‐Nikitin, Matalin G. Pirtz, Christopher S. Ashe…·Alexander Yu. Nikitin
This study identifies 44 genes, including novel markers like OAS2 and OASL, as potential early diagnostic and prognostic markers for serous endometrial carcinoma using a mouse model and multi-omics approaches.

Combinatorial organoid mutagenesis screen reveals gene constellations driving malignant transformation, pathology and chemosensitivity in high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma
Daryl J. Phuong, Coulter Q. Ralston, Tamer Ezzat…·John C. Schimenti
This study uses combinatorial CRISPR mutagenesis in organoids to identify gene combinations driving malignant transformation, pathology, and chemosensitivity in high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma.

Pre-ciliated tubal epithelial cells are prone to initiation of high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma
Andrea Flesken‐Nikitin, Coulter Q. Ralston, Dah‐Jiun Fu…·Alexander Yu. Nikitin
The paper identifies pre-ciliated tubal epithelial cells as a cancer-prone state in high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma by analyzing mouse uterine tube cell states and lineage dynamics.
