摘要
The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) is a master regulator of cell growth and division that responds to a variety of stimuli, including nutrient, energy, and growth factors. In the last years, a significant number of pieces have been added to the puzzle of how mTOR coordinates and executes its functions. Extensive research on mTOR has also uncovered a complex network of regulatory loops that impact the therapeutic approaches aimed at targeting mTOR.
