The Regulatory Mechanism of Warts and the Role of Hippo Pathway in Adult Stem Cell Proliferation in Drosophilia

This book summarizes the most recent discoveries of the novel tumor suppressor pathway - the Hippo pathway- in cancer research and somatic adult stem cell research. Besides the informative review of the genetics and molecular biology about the components, functions, and regulatory mechanisms of the Hippo pathway in the embryo development and adult stages, the future research directions of novel dWarts regulatory mechanism and the functions of the Hippo pathway in somatic adult stem cell were deliberated analyzed and designed. Thus this book will benefit to the scientists who are interested in genetics, developmental biology, cancers, stem cell research, and regenerative biology medicine.
