LncBRM initiates YAP1 signalling activation to drive self-renewal of liver cancer stem cells

Liver cancer stem cells (CSCs) may contribute to the high rate of recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma. Here, the authors show that the long coding RNA, LcnBRM, regulates the self-renewal of liver CSCs and tumour initiation through binding to BAF complex thereby activating YAP1.
