YAP and TAZ, paralogous mammalian genes, act as the key transcriptional effectors of the Hippo pathway. Two recent reports show that both YAP and TAZ form liquid–liquid phase-separated

bodies that promote gene transcription by engaging in super-enhancers. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution
