The Hippo pathway is a key regulator of tissue growth. It was first discovered in vinegar flies and plays a similar role in mammals. We aim to define the mechanism by which the Hippo pathway controls tissue growth and cancer. These studies will be performed in flies and mammalian cell culture. Our studies will shed light on how tissue growth is controlled, and have the potential to inform the way that we treat human cancers and tissue growth disorders.

Hippo通路是组织生长的关键调节因子。它最初是在醋蝇中发现的，在哺乳动物中也起着类似的作用。我们的目标是确定Hippo通路控制组织生长和癌症的机制。这些研究将在果蝇和哺乳动物细胞培养中进行。我们的研究将揭示组织生长是如何被控制的，并有可能为我们治疗人类癌症和组织生长障碍的方式提供信息。
