Hippo Pathway

The Hippo pathway is a biological signaling system that helps regulate cell growth, tissue size, and organ development. It works like a cellular control switch, determining when cells should divide or stop growing. When the pathway is active, it keeps cell growth in check, preventing uncontrolled cell multiplication. If it’s disrupted, it can lead to excessive cell growth, which is linked to cancer. Overall, the Hippo pathway is vital for maintaining healthy tissue development and preventing disease by balancing cell growth and death.
