Abstract

Mechanical cues can regulate cell proliferation and differentiation through the Hippo-YAP signaling network. Reporting in Nature, Meng et al. (2018) show that the Ras-related GTPase RAP2 connects extracellular matrix stiffness to Hippo pathway regulation, adding to our understanding of how mechanical cues are converted into changes in YAP activity.
