Identification of novel therapeutic targets in the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway in hepatocellular carcinoma using targeted next generation sequencing. [PDF]
Understanding genetic aberrations in cancer leads to discovery of new targets for cancer therapies. The genomic landscape of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has not been fully described. Therefore, patients with refractory advanced/metastatic HCC referred

Unbiased translation proteomics upon cell stress
The mammalian target of rapamycin and the integrated stress response are central cellular hubs regulating translation upon stress. The precise proteins and pathway specificity of translation targets of these pathways remained largely unclear. We recently

Mammalian EAK-7 activates alternative mTOR signaling to regulate cell proliferation and migration. [PDF]
Nematode EAK-7 (enhancer-of-akt-1-7) regulates dauer formation and controls life span; however, the function of the human ortholog mammalian EAK-7 (mEAK-7) is unknown.

Unconventional role of RAC1 in MET-driven anchorage-independent tumor growth
We reported that RAC1 is a master regulator of cell migration and anchorage-independent growth, downstream of the oncogenic Receptor Tyrosine Kinase (RTK) MET.

Resveratrol-induced brown fat-like phenotype in 3T3-L1 adipocytes partly via mTOR pathway
Background: Browning of white adipose tissues (WAT) is recognized as a novel way to combat obesity and its related comorbidities. Thus, a lot of dietary agents contributing to browning of WAT have been identified.

Dual mTOR/PI3K inhibition limits PI3K-dependent pathways activated upon mTOR inhibition in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease [PDF]
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is characterized by the development of kidney cysts leading to kidney failure in adulthood. Inhibition of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) slows polycystic kidney disease (PKD) progression in ...
