Abstract: The Hippo pathway is important for the regulation of organ size, cell proliferation and apoptosis.In recent studies, YAP (Yes-associated protein), as a transcription co-activator of the Hippo pathway, is involved in the development of tumor, and its overexpression promotes cell malignant transformation. Understanding the relationship between the Hippo pathway and cancer can provide a new perspective for the prevention and treatment of cancer.
