Persistence of drug-resistant breast cancer stem cells (brCSCs) after a chemotherapeutic regime correlates with disease recurrence and elevated mortality. Therefore, deciphering mechanisms that dictate their drug-resistant phenotype is imperative for designing targeted and more effective therapeutic strategies. The transcription factor SOX2 has been recognized as a protagonist in brCSC maintenance, and previous studies have confirmed that inhibition of SOX2 purportedly eliminated these brCSCs. However, pharmacological targeting of transcription factors like SOX2 is challenging due to their structural incongruities and intrinsic disorders in their binding interfaces. Therefore, transcriptional co-activators may serve as a feasible alternative for effectively targeting the brCSCs. Incidentally, transcriptional co-activators YAP/TAZ were found to be upregulated in CD44
