In vivo genome-wide CRISPR screen reveals breast cancer vulnerabilities and synergistic mTOR/Hippo targeted combination therapy

Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) lack effective therapies. Here, through an in vivo genome-wide CRISPR screen in TNBCs, the authors identify tumorigenic functions for components of the mTORC1/2 complex and of the YAP/Hippo pathway, and demonstrate that pharmacological inhibition of mTOR and YAP...
