These studies reveal an unexpected role of the axon guidance receptor UNC5A in fine-tuning ERalpha and EGFR signaling and the luminal progenitor status of hormone-sensitive breast cancers. Furthermore, UNC5A knockdown cells provide an ideal model system to investigate metastasis of ERalpha(+) breast cancers | Dependence receptor UNC5A restricts luminal to basal breast cancer plasticity and metastasis.
