--- _id: '5793' abstract: - lang: eng text: The transcription coactivator, Yes-associated protein (YAP), which is a nuclear effector of the Hippo signaling pathway, has been shown to be a mechano-transducer. By using mutant fish and human 3D spheroids, we have recently demonstrated that YAP is also a mechano-effector. YAP functions in three-dimensional (3D) morphogenesis of organ and global body shape by controlling actomyosin-mediated tissue tension. In this chapter, we present a platform that links the findings in fish embryos with human cells. The protocols for analyzing tissue tension-mediated global body shape/organ morphogenesis in vivo and ex vivo using medaka fish embryos and in vitro using human cell spheroids represent useful tools for unraveling the molecular mechanisms by which YAP functions in regulating global body/organ morphogenesis. alternative_title: - MIMB author: - first_name: Yoichi full_name: Asaoka, Yoichi last_name: Asaoka - first_name: Hitoshi full_name: Morita, Hitoshi last_name: Morita - first_name: Hiroko full_name: Furumoto, Hiroko last_name: Furumoto - first_name: Carl-Philipp J full_name: Heisenberg, Carl-Philipp J id: 39427864-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Heisenberg orcid: 0000-0002-0912-4566 - first_name: Makoto full_name: Furutani-Seiki, Makoto last_name: Furutani-Seiki citation: ama: 'Asaoka Y, Morita H, Furumoto H, Heisenberg C-PJ, Furutani-Seiki M.
