Our results argue against the notion that YAP‐TEAD is a direct inhibitor of Wnt signalling in the intestine (Cheung et al,2020; Li et al,2020), which led one group to propose that YAP function as a tumour suppressor (Cheung et al,2020), building on their previous findings that activation of a tetO‐YAPS127ArtTA transgene inhibits intestinal proliferation (Barry et al,2013). This evidence concerns the gene YAP1 and neoplasm.
