The discovery of Hippo signaling pathway is another breakthrough of fly genetics. Similar to the other signaling pathways, Hippo pathway also functions crucially in tremendous physiological and pathological conditions, like organ size control and cancer. There are three main stages of Hippo pathway study: Firstly, identifications of core components by fly genetic screens; secondly, regulations by versatile upstream cues, like cytoskeleton, mechanical tension, and nutrition; thirdly, functions in different biological processes, like cell proliferation regulation, stem cell biology, and immunology. In this review, we summarize the current understanding of Hippo pathway and highlight its regulations and transcriptional complex assembly. We also discuss the potential future directions in Drosophila model system.
