Hippo Pathway in Organ Size Control, Tissue Homeostasis, and Cancer.

TL;DR: The Hippo pathway regulates cell proliferation, apoptosis, and stemness in response to a wide range of extracellular and intracellular signals, including cell-cell contact, cell polarity, mechanical cues, ligands of G-protein-coupled receptors, and cellular energy status.

YAP/TAZ at the Roots of Cancer

TL;DR: In this paper, a number of cancer-associated extrinsic and intrinsic cues conspire to overrule the YAP-inhibiting microenvironment of normal tissues, including changes in mechanotransduction, inflammation, oncogenic signaling, and regulation of the Hippo pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanisms of Hippo pathway regulation

TL;DR: This review focuses on recent developments in the understanding of the molecular actions of the core Hippo kinase cascade and discusses key open questions in the regulation and function of the Hippo pathway.

Fate decision of mesenchymal stem cells: adipocytes or osteoblasts?

TL;DR: External factors and their signaling processes dictating the reciprocal regulation between adipocytes and osteoblasts during MSC differentiation and the ultimate control of the adipo-osteogenic balance are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

YAP/TAZ upstream signals and downstream responses

TL;DR: How the transcriptional regulators YAP and TAZ integrate mechanical cues with the response to soluble signals and metabolic pathways to control multiple aspects of cell behaviour, including proliferation, cell plasticity and stemness essential for tissue regeneration is reviewed.

Genome engineering using the CRISPR-Cas9 system

TL;DR: A set of tools for Cas9-mediated genome editing via nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ) or homology-directed repair (HDR) in mammalian cells, as well as generation of modified cell lines for downstream functional studies are described.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia enables predictive modelling of anticancer drug sensitivity

TL;DR: The results indicate that large, annotated cell-line collections may help to enable preclinical stratification schemata for anticancer agents and the generation of genetic predictions of drug response in the preclinical setting and their incorporation into cancer clinical trial design could speed the emergence of ‘personalized’ therapeutic regimens.

The Wnt signaling pathway in development and disease.

TL;DR: The data reveal that multiple extracellular, cytoplasmic, and nuclear regulators intricately modulate Wnt signaling levels, and that receptor-ligand specificity and feedback loops help to determine WNT signaling outputs.

Wnt/β-catenin signaling: components, mechanisms, and diseases

TL;DR: Some key aspects of Wnt/beta-catenin signaling in human diseases including congenital malformations, cancer, and osteoporosis are highlighted, and potential therapeutic implications are discussed.

Improved vectors and genome-wide libraries for CRISPR screening.

TL;DR: In this paper, Zhang et al. used a Genome-scale CRISPR Knock-Out (GeCKO) library to identify loss-of-function mutations in a melanoma model.
