Our latest study is out! We investigated the effects of inducing goblet airway epithelial cells in the lung arising from YAP/TAZ inhibition, finding distinct inflammatory networks with implications for disease. Congrats to team and first author Carina!

🔍We found that deleting YAP/TAZ in club airway epithelial cells causes goblet cell metaplasia, which in turn sparks acute lung inflammation, showing how epithelial changes can directly fuel immune responses.
🚨 New paper alert!
Thrilled to share our latest work in AJRCMB:
“Airway Goblet Metaplasia Resulting from YAP/TAZ Deletion Drives Pulmonary Inflammatory Responses”

Despite the chaos and uncertainty, I am happy to share our latest publication. In this study, we mapped stromal changes in mammary carcinomas initiated by epithelial LATS1/2 kinase inhibition and demonstrated the effectiveness of TEAD inhibitors in this model.
