Hippo-Yap/Taz Signalling Coordinates Adipose Plasticity and Energy Balance by Uncoupling Leptin Expression from Fat Mass

The Coordinating Role of the Hippo-YAP/TAZ Pathway in Adipose Plasticity and Energy Balance Adipose tissue not only serves as an energy storage depot but also functions as an endocrine organ. However, the mechanisms coordinating these functions remain elusive. This study unveiled that the transcriptional co-regulators YAP and TAZ maintain metabolic...
