This study shows YAP in cardiac fibroblasts controls ECM structure and fibroblast alignment, affecting cardiomyocyte function and tissue integrity.

This study shows that inhibiting the Hippo pathway component yes-associated protein increases nanoparticle internalization in cancer cells, independent of nanoparticle or cell properties.

This paper develops a bio-inspired scaffold from iPSC-derived cardiac myofibroblasts to model fibrotic ECM effects on cardiomyocytes.
