The role of histone deacetylases (HDACs) in glioblastoma brain tumour stem cells (BTSCs) remains to be explored. Here, pharmacological inhibition and genetic loss of function approaches show that HDAC2 leads to the maintenance of BTSC growth and self-renewal through its association with the components of the TGF-β signalling pathway.
