How to Learn Hippo–YAP/TAZ Mechanotransduction: From Cell Density and Matrix Stiffness to LATS Kinases, Nuclear YAP and TEAD Transcription
Distinct learning-progression job: Build reasoning from the question “how can a cell turn physical stiffness, crowding or stretch into a transcriptional decision?” to the MST1/2–SAV1–LATS1/2–MOB1 kinase cascade, YAP/TAZ phosphorylation and 14-3-3 retention, NF2/AMOT/contact-junction control, integrin–Rho–actomyosin and nuclear-mechanics inputs, microtubule-dependent AMOT turnover, TEAD-dependent transcription and the distinction between canonical Hippo signalling, broader mechanotransduction and downstream growth/regeneration…
