Hippo/YAP signaling pathway in colorectal cancer: regulatory mechanisms and potential drug exploration. (PubMed, Front Oncol)
Preclinical and clinical investigations highlight the efficacy of diverse Hippo/YAP-targeted interventions, with recent clinical trials (e.g., VT3989, IK-930, IAG933, ION537) underscoring the translational promise of this pathway. Integrating cutting-edge insights into its regulatory networks and clinical targeting offers novel perspectives for precision oncology. By bridging fundamental discoveries with translational applications, this review establishes Hippo/YAP as a compelling therapeutic target and provides a theoretical foundation for developing innovative CRC therapies.
