Journal ArticleDOI

A Mechanical Checkpoint Controls Multicellular Growth through YAP/TAZ Regulation by Actin-Processing Factors

TL;DR: It is reported that physical and architectural features of a multicellular sheet inform cells about their proliferative capacity through mechanical regulation of YAP and TAZ, known mediators of Hippo signaling and organ growth.
Journal ArticleDOI

Designer matrices for intestinal stem cell and organoid culture

TL;DR: Modular synthetic hydrogel networks are used to define the key extracellular matrix parameters that govern intestinal stem cell (ISC) expansion and organoid formation, and show that separate stages of the process require different mechanical environments and ECM components.
Journal ArticleDOI

A MicroRNA targeting dicer for metastasis control.

TL;DR: These findings suggest a new pathway by which Dicer inhibition drifts epithelial cancer toward a less-differentiated, mesenchymal fate to foster metastasis, and attenuates miRNA biosynthesis by targeting Dicer, a key component of the miRNA processing machinery.
Journal ArticleDOI

Metabolic control of YAP and TAZ by the mevalonate pathway

TL;DR: It is shown that YAP/TAZ activity is controlled by the SREBP/mevalonate pathway, which is required for proliferation and self-renewal of breast cancer cells and reveals an additional layer of YAP-TAZ regulation by metabolic cues.
Journal ArticleDOI

Progress and potential in organoid research.

TL;DR: The authors review recent progress in organoid derivation and applications and outline how advances in other disciplines might lead to more physiologically relevant organoids.
