Identification of differentially expressed genes in rat silicosis model by suppression subtractive hybridization analysis.

abstract：:The Hippo pathway was initially identified in Drosophila by genetic mosaic screens for tumor suppressor genes. Researches indicated that the Hippo pathway is a key regulator of organ size and is conserved during evolution. Furthermore, studies of mouse models and clinical samples demonstrated the importance of Hippo p...
