Myoepithelial cells prevent tumour growth and invasion in DCIS. Here, the authors show that p63 and TCF7 cooperate to regulate a transcription factor network for the maintenance of normal myoepithelial function and altered expression of these genes perturb myoepithelial function in DCIS to promote invasive progression.
