Uncovering the signaling landscape controlling breast cancer cell migration identifies novel metastasis driver genes

Triple-negative breast cancers (TNBC) have enhanced migratory behaviour. Here, the authors perform a phenotypic imaging-based RNAi screen to identify several genes associated with regulation of migratory phenotypes and show that one of the regulators, PRPF4B, mediates metastasis in TNBC in mice.
