PAF-Wnt signaling-induced cell plasticity is required for maintenance of breast cancer cell stemness

Stem cells are found in many tumour types and are thought to be partially responsible for cell survival following therapy. Here, the authors show that PCNA-associated factor, PAF, contributes to stemness in breast cancer cells and pharmacological targeting of PAF reduces mammosphere formation.
