Role and Mechanisms of the mTOR Signalling Pathway in the Synthesis of Milk Components
The regulatory network system of mTOR regulates lactose, milk fat, and milk protein. Milk is urgently needed for the strong development of the dairy industry to meet the growing demand and ensure that the nutritional needs of the world's population are met.

Blue light impairs cornea and corneal wound healing by downregulating VCAM1 partly
Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effects of long-term pollution from different wavelengths of light on the corneal epithelium (CE) and identify potential biomarkers. Rabbits were exposed to red, green, blue, white, and environmental light for

Sphingosine-1-phosphate–induced smooth muscle cell migration involves the mammalian target of rapamycin [PDF]
BackgroundVascular smooth muscle cell (SMC) migration is an important component of the development of intimal hyperplasia. Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S-1-P) is a lipid released from activated platelets with numerous cellular effects including the ...

This study demonstrates that reducing the enzyme topoisomerase Top2 or its mammalian homolog TOP2B promotes longevity across multiple species, including yeast, worms, and mice. At the cellular/molecular level, TOP2B reduction mitigates the major cellular aging hallmarks such as epigenetic alterations, cell senescence, lysosomal biogenesis, and ...

The novel mTOR inhibitor RAD001 (Everolimus) induces antiproliferative effects in human pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor cells [PDF]
Background/Aim: Tumors exhibiting constitutively activated PI(3) K/Akt/mTOR signaling are hypersensitive to mTOR inhibitors such as RAD001 (everolimus) which is presently being investigated in clinical phase II trials in various tumor entities, including

Reduced AKT/mTOR signaling and protein synthesis dysregulation in a Rett syndrome animal model. [PDF]
Rett syndrome (RTT) is a neurodevelopmental disorder with no efficient treatment that is caused in the majority of cases by mutations in the gene methyl-CpG binding-protein 2 (MECP2).

Phosphorylation by Akt within the ST loop of AMPK-α1 down-regulates its activation in tumour cells [PDF]
The insulin/IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor 1)-activated protein kinase Akt (also known as protein kinase B) phosphorylates Ser(487) in the ‘ST loop’ (serine/threonine-rich loop) within the C-terminal domain of AMPK-α1 (AMP-activated protein kinase-α1),
