TLDR
Morphologically defined structures within the plasma membrane, such as cellular junctions, focal adhesions, primary cilia, caveolae, clathrin-coated pits, and plaques play additional key roles in cellular feedback via the Hippo pathway.

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.

Cell Movement Is Guided by the Rigidity of the Substrate

TL;DR: It is discovered that changes in tissue rigidity and strain could play an important controlling role in a number of normal and pathological processes involving cell locomotion, including morphogenesis, the immune response, and wound healing.

Flow-mediated endothelial mechanotransduction

TL;DR: The transmission of hemodynamic forces throughout the endothelium and the mechanotransduction mechanisms that lead to biophysical, biochemical, and gene regulatory responses of endothelial cells to hemodynamic shear stresses are reviewed.

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

TEAD mediates YAP-dependent gene induction and growth control

TL;DR: TEAD is revealed as a new component in the Hippo pathway playing essential roles in mediating biological functions of YAP, and is required for YAP-induced cell growth, oncogenic transformation, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition.
