) intestinal stem cells and epithelial integrity. Cross talk between Hippo, Wingless-related integration site (WNT), transforming growth factor β (TGF-β), and p53 signaling orchestrates this dynamic repair process, with precise temporal control of YAP essential for successful regeneration. Dysregulation of these interactions contributes to colorectal cancer tumorigenesis, highlighting the Hippo pathway as a central hub linking intestinal homeostasis, regeneration, and cancer.
