| Research Abstract |
In this study, using microdomain cell culture system we investigated molecular mechanism of regulation for cell proliferation by cell morphology via Hippo signaling pathway. We found that cell morphology regulates stress fiber formation and it works as a negative regulator for Hippo signaling pathway. Based on these findings, we proposed a novel model for “contact inhibition of cell proliferation”, in which cell morphology acts as an initial trigger for the regulation for cell proliferation via Hippo signaling pathway by modulation of stress fiber formation.
