Given that TGFβ, Twist, and Vimentin also contribute to the generation of CSCs, drug resistance, and tumor progression 41,42, and because NDRG1 promotes chemoresistance 43, we explored whether TGFβ-driven NDRG1 could have a role on TNBC progression by modulation of CSCs. The gene discussed is VIM; the disease is neoplasm.
