Journal ArticleDOI

Inactivation of YAP oncoprotein by the Hippo pathway is involved in cell contact inhibition and tissue growth control

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that in mammalian cells, the transcription coactivator YAP (Yes-associated protein), is inhibited by cell density via the Hippo pathway, and YAP overexpression regulates gene expression in a manner opposite to cell density, and is able to overcome cell contact inhibition.
Journal ArticleDOI

A selective TrkB agonist with potent neurotrophic activities by 7,8-dihydroxyflavone

TL;DR: 7,8-dihydroxyflavone imitates BDNF and acts as a robust TrkB agonist, providing a powerful therapeutic tool for the treatment of various neurological diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cleavage of tau by asparagine endopeptidase mediates the neurofibrillary pathology in Alzheimer’s disease

TL;DR: Asparagine endopeptidase (AEP), a lysosomal cysteine proteinase, is activated during aging and proteolytically degrades tau, abolishes its microtubule assembly function, induces tau aggregation and triggers neurodegeneration, indicating that AEP acts as a crucial mediator of tau-related clinical and neuropathological changes.
