title: Blending hippo and WNT: sharing messengers and regulation.
abstract: Two new studies reveal ways in which the Wnt pathway commandeers Hippo components for signaling. Azzolin et al. show how the Hippo transcription factor TAZ mediates Wnt signals, and Rosenbluh et al. show how β-catenin and YAP1 form a kinase-regulated complex with transcription factor TBX5.
