Cx26 drives self-renewal in triple-negative breast cancer via interaction with NANOG and focal adhesion kinase

Connexin proteins are usually considered as tumor suppressors. Here, the authors show that connexin 26 (Cx26) regulates the self-renewal of breast cancer stem cells via a ternary complex with FAK and NANOG.
