Animal amino acid sensor — A review [PDF]
Cell growth and metabolism necessitate the involvement of amino acids, which are sensed and integrated by the mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1).

Molecular pathogenesis and targeted therapy of sporadic pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors [PDF]
Over the past few years, knowledge regarding the molecular pathology of sporadic pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs) has increased substantially, and a number of targeted agents have been tested in clinical trials in this tumor type.

Impairing the production of ribosomal RNA activates mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 signalling and downstream translation factors [PDF]
Ribosome biogenesis is a key process for maintaining protein synthetic capacity in dividing or growing cells, and requires coordinated production of ribosomal proteins and ribosomal RNA (rRNA), including the processing of the latter.

Ornithine Decarboxylase mRNA is Stabilized in an mTORC1-dependent Manner in Ras-transformed Cells [PDF]
Upon Ras activation, ODC (ornithine decarboxylase) is markedly induced, and numerous studies suggest that ODC expression is controlled by Ras effector pathways. ODC is therefore a potential target in the treatment and prevention of Ras-driven tumours. In

Alpha‐lipoic acid inhibits lung cancer growth via mTOR‐mediated autophagy inhibition
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer‐related death, and there remains a need for novel therapies for this malignancy. Here, we examined the effects of alpha‐lipoic acid (LA), a drug used for treating human diabetic complications, on lung cancer ...

Muscle inactivation of mTOR causes metabolic and dystrophin defects leading to severe myopathy [PDF]
Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) is a key regulator of cell growth that associates with raptor and rictor to form the mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1) and mTORC2, respectively.

Comparative global immune-related gene profiling of somatic cells, human pluripotent stem cells and their derivatives: implication for human lymphocyte proliferation. [PDF]
Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs), including embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and induced PSCs (iPSCs), represent potentially unlimited cell sources for clinical applications. Previous studies have suggested that hPSCs may benefit from immune privilege and

Mammalian Target of Rapamycin [PDF]
More than 30 years ago, a soil sample from Easter Island was found to contain a bacterial strain that produced a potent antifungal metabolite later named rapamycin. In addition to its antifungal properties, rapamycin was found to possess antiproliferative and immunosuppressant properties.1 The intracellular target of this intriguing compound is known ...
