Comparative study of Hippo pathway genes in cellular conveyor belts of a ctenophore and a cnidarian

Abstract Background The Hippo pathway regulates growth rate and organ size in fly and mouse, notably through control of cell proliferation. Molecular interactions at the heart of this pathway are known to have originated in the unicellular ancestry of metazoans. They notably involve a cascade of pho...
