🎉 Super excited to share my work with Paulo Ribeiro at @qmbci.bsky.social- now published @embojournal.org !
We show PP2A can activate the Hippo pathway in Drosophila, in addition to its role as a Hippo negative regulator as part of the STRIPAK complex.

PP2A phosphatase regulates Hippo signalling in dual manner - The EMBO Journal
Hippo signalling is an evolutionarily conserved pathway that regulates tissue growth. The FERM domain protein Expanded (Ex) integrates polarity cues to activate the Hippo pathway. Previous work has sh...
