SPT6-driven error-free DNA repair safeguards genomic stability of glioblastoma cancer stem-like cells

Cancer stem cells can evade treatment. Here, the authors perform an in vitro screen to identify proteins that are involved in protecting glioma cancer stem cells from therapy and find that SPT6 increases BRCA1 expression and drives error-free DNA repair, thereby ensuring the survival of the cells.
