#InterferonFriendsOrFoes? Another cool one @EllenFoxman &friends out @PLOSBiology about how excessive #IFNs delay repair by activating LATS & degrading YAP/TAZ in the Hippo 🦛 pathway! https://t.co/TxDXxNbYU7 👇👇👇

[Ellen Foxman @EllenFoxman]

Happy to share our new paper @PLOSBiology on crosstalk between interferons and tissue repair. IFNs are critical for antiviral defense but excessive production is linked to delayed recovery. We found that at high concentrations, IFNs co-opt the downstream portion of the Hippo developmental signaling pathway to curtail epithelial repair and regeneration. Huge congrats to first author @krupa_subs and co-authors @YaleMed @Yale_LabMed @YaleIBIO
