Hippo Enters the Competition.
Royer C., Srinivas S.
In this issue of Developmental Cell, Hashimoto and Sasaki (2019) explore the role of the Hippo pathway in the establishment of naive pluripotency and cell competition in the epiblast. Their work gives insight into how the mouse embryo selects cells with the highest future potential, through the activity of YAP/TEAD.
