Abstract excerpt
The Hippo pathway regulates many physiological processes, including development, tumor suppression, and wound healing. One understudied Hippo pathway component is PTPN14, an evolutionarily conserved tyrosine phosphatase that inhibits YAP/TAZ. Although it is an established tumor suppressor, PTPN14's role in tissue homeostasis has remained unclear. We thus generated Ptpn14-deficient mice and found that only ∼60% of...
