Journal ArticleDOI

Role of YAP/TAZ in mechanotransduction

TL;DR: YAP/TAZ are identified as sensors and mediators of mechanical cues instructed by the cellular microenvironment and are functionally required for differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells induced by ECM stiffness and for survival of endothelial cells regulated by cell geometry.
Journal ArticleDOI

YAP/TAZ Incorporation in the β-Catenin Destruction Complex Orchestrates the Wnt Response

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that YAP and TAZ are integral components of the β-catenin destruction complex that serves as cytoplasmic sink for YAP/TAZ, revealing an unprecedented signaling framework relevant for organ size control, regeneration, and tumor suppression.
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

BMP signaling controls muscle mass

TL;DR: It is shown that bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling, acting through Smad1, Smad5 and Smad8 (Smad1/5/8), is the fundamental hypertrophic signal in mice, and a critical role for the BMP pathway in adult muscle maintenance, growth and atrophy is identified.
