| Using genetic mouse mammary tumor and human breast cancer models, researchers showed that the histone reader ZMYND8 was selectively expressed in breast CSCs (BCSCs) and promoted epithelial-mesenchymal transition, BCSC maintenance and self-renewal, and oncogenic transformation through its epigenetic functions, leading to breast tumor initiation.
