The mTORC1 Signaling Network Senses Changes in Cellular Purine Nucleotide Levels

Cell Reports, 2017
Summary: Mechanistic (or mammalian) target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) integrates signals from growth factors and nutrients to control biosynthetic processes, including protein, lipid, and nucleic acid synthesis.

Osteocyte TSC1 promotes sclerostin secretion to restrain osteogenesis in mice [PDF]

Open Biology, 2019
Osteocytes secrete the glycoprotein sclerostin to inhibit bone formation by osteoblasts, but how sclerostin production is regulated in osteocytes remains unclear.

mTOR pathway – a potential therapeutic target in stroke

Therapeutic Advances in Neurological Disorders, 2023
Stroke is ranked as the second leading cause of death worldwide and a major cause of long-term disability. A potential therapeutic target that could offer favorable outcomes in stroke is the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway.

Insulin stimulates adipogenesis through the Akt-TSC2-mTORC1 pathway.

PLoS ONE, 2009
BackgroundThe signaling pathways imposing hormonal control over adipocyte differentiation are poorly understood. While insulin and Akt signaling have been found previously to be essential for adipogenesis, the relative importance of their many downstream

Mechanisms of TSC-mediated control of synapse assembly and axon guidance. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2007
Tuberous sclerosis complex is a dominant genetic disorder produced by mutations in either of two tumor suppressor genes, TSC1 and TSC2; it is characterized by hamartomatous tumors, and is associated with severe neurological and behavioral disturbances ...
