Cell phenotypic plasticity requires autophagic flux driven by YAP/TAZ mechanotransduction [Cell Biology]
(World News Science)

Autophagy, besides ensuring energy metabolism and organelle renewal, is crucial for the biology of adult normal and cancer stem cells. However, it remains incompletely understood how autophagy connects to stemness factors and the nature of the microenvironmental signals that pattern autophagy in different cell types. Here we advance in these... ......
