This review discusses the role of YAP/TAZ proteins in skin cancer physiology and tumorigenesis, and the potential of targeting these proteins in skin cancer treatments, but presents no new experimental findings.

This study demonstrates that YAP and TAZ are essential for initiating basal and squamous cell carcinomas in mice, and suggests targeting these pathways could be beneficial for treating skin cancers.

In this study, researchers found that YAP and TAZ, when localized in the nucleus of basal layer cells, are crucial for skin regeneration and hair growth, with their loss leading to slower cell proliferation, hair loss, and impaired wound healing in mice.

This review summarizes existing evidence on how YAP and TAZ proteins are activated in epidermal keratinocytes and their role in coordinating with other signaling molecules to control transcription and influence epidermal cell fate, highlighting their importance beyond the Hippo pathway.

This study synthesizes knowledge of how dendritic cell signals, epithelial integrins, and fibroblast activity converge on TGF-β1 to maintain or disrupt skin healing, contrasting normal and fibrotic scar formation and suggesting possible integrin and immune-targeted treatments for skin fibrosis.
