Glucocorticoid receptor signalling activates YAP in breast cancer [PDF]
, 2017 The Hippo pathway is an oncosuppressor signalling cascade that plays a major role in the control of cell growth, tissue homoeostasis and organ size. Dysregulation of the Hippo pathway leads to aberrant activation of the transcription co-activator YAP ...

OsGIF1 Positively Regulates the Sizes of Stems, Leaves, and Grains in Rice
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017 Growth-regulating factor (GRF) interacting factors (GIFs) are involved in several developmental processes in Arabidopsis. We previously showed that upregulation of OsGIF1 expression improves rice grain size.
