Where this comes from

Abstract

In this issue of Cell Metabolism, El Ouarrat et al. identify the Hippo signaling terminal effector TAZ as an endogenous negative regulator of PPARγ, a master transcriptional regulator of lipid metabolism and insulin sensitivity. Selective destruction of TAZ in adipocytes lowers inflammation and restores insulin sensitivity and glucose homeostasis.
