Popis: The contribution of breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs) to metastasis needs further elucidation. Here, the authors show that BCSCs secrete DKK1 to protect metastasizing cancer cells from ferroptosis via upregulation of SLC7A11, and further show that the combination of a ferroptosis inducer with a DKK1 inhibitor reduces metastasis.
