Thyroid hormone receptor β is a newly identified transcription factor to suppress cancer stem cell activity
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) enable adaptive plasticity in tumors that contributes to therapy resistance and poor disease outcomes. Here, we show that thyroid hormone receptor β (TRβ) suppresses CSCs through the transcriptional regulation of CSC-related genes, thereby impeding tumorigenesis.
