It has also been revealed that YAP induces the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), suppression of apoptosis, growth factor-independent proliferation, and anchorage-independent growth of cancer cells, which are attributes of cancer stem cells that are responsible for the major causes of cancer mortality, such as chemoresistance, metastasis, and recurrence [40]. The gene discussed is YAP1; the disease is cancer.
