Background: The development of tissue microarray (TMA) technology has provided the opportunity to perform analyses of tissue samples on a large scale in an uniform fashion. This study was designed with the use of TMA to explore the Yes-associated protein (YAP) status in breast cancer.
Patients And Methods: YAP expression in tumor and tumor-free samples from 94 patients with primary breast cancer was analyzed by TMA. The clinicopathological data for age, estrogen receptor status, histological grading and TNM staging were also collected.
Results: There were 29 patients (30.8%) with 1(+) expression, in YAP, 59 patients (62.8%) with 2(+) expression and 6 (6.4%) with 3(+) expression. There was no significant relationship between YAP expression and the other clinicopathological variables. By multivariate analysis, YAP expression failed to produce any significant relationship with the overall survival rate.
Conclusion: YAP expression is not an independent prognostic factor in patients with breast cancer.

Hippo signaling plays a crucial role in the cellular response to various stressors, such as mechanical stress, metabolic stress, and hypoxic stress. However, its physiological significance in copper (Cu) stress remains poorly understood. Here, we demonstrated aberrant activation of Hippo-YAP signaling in sheep pancreas and pancreatic organoids exposed to excessive Cu, accompanied by significant pathological changes, elevated levels of oxidative stress, and impaired mitochondrial structure and function.

Background: Cyclophosphamide is a widely utilized chemotherapeutic agent for pediatric cancers, known to elicit adverse effects, including perturbation of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR and Hippo signaling pathways, thereby diminishing ovarian reserve and fertility potential in females. Consequently, this investigation delves into the mitigative effects of metformin on cyclophosphamide-induced ovarian impairment in prepubertal mice.
Methods: Twenty-four 14-day-old NMRI female mice were distributed into four groups: Control (Cont), Cyclophosphamide (Cyc), Metformin (Met), and Metformin plus Cyclophosphamide (Met-Cyc).

Background: Ewing sarcoma (ES), the second main pediatric bone sarcoma, is characterised by a chromosomal translocation leading to the formation of fusion proteins like EWS::FLI1. While several studies have shown that potassium channels drive the development of many tumours, limited data exist on ES. This work therefore aimed to study the transcriptional regulation of KCNA2 and define the involvement of the Kv1.

Although in vitro models using pluripotent stem cells replicate aspects of this process, they lack crucial components, most notably the notochord-a defining feature of chordates that patterns surrounding tissues. Consequently, cell types dependent on notochord signals are absent from current models of human trunk formation.
