As described in the text, YAP activity has diverse consequences for cells during normal development and physiology. It often increases tissue growth by promoting cellular growth and cell proliferation, and inhibiting apoptosis. It also helps to maintain stem and progenitor cells in many tissues, while suppressing differentiation, but in other contexts can influence cell fate decisions or modify cellular phenotypes.
