Abstract
The Hippo pathway is a highly conserved signaling network integrating diverse intracellular, intercellular and extracellular biological cues to regulate complex physiological processes such as organ size, tissue development, homeostasis and regeneration. These cues include cytoskeletal organization, mechanical force, cell–cell interaction, cell polarity, cell-extracellular matrix interaction to govern cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, stem cell property and tissue microenvironment. In this review, we discuss how the emerging role of biomolecular condensates regulates the activity of the pathway components, and how dysregulation of the pathway leads to cancer. Lastly, we highlight the therapeutic modalities which target YAP/TAZ-TEAD interaction for cancer therapy.
