Lin et al. find that stress-induced p38 MAPK activation leads to cytoplasmic relocation of the Hippo pathway nuclear transcription factor TEAD. TEAD relocation causes inhibition of YAP activity and suppresses YAP-driven cancer cell growth. The Hippo pathway controls organ size and tissue homeostasis...
