The Hippo kinase cascade is a crucial signalling pathway regulating organ growth during development in numerous organs. There is mounting evidence implicating this signalling pathway in tumour formation, where it is emerging as an anti-cancer target due to effective pharmacological inhibition of its transcriptional activators YAP/TAZ. We previously demonstrated activity of the Hippo kinase cascade in the mouse pituitary and nuclear association of YAP/TAZ with SOX2 expressing p...
