Yang and colleagues delineate a pathway that controls cell migration in 3D environments following Twist1-mediated epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition. They show that Twist1 represses the let-7i microRNA, leading to upregulation of the RAC1-activating factors NEDD9 and DOCK3, and inducing mesenchymal-mode motility and tumour invasion in vivo.
