Abstract

The mechanistic/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), a member of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) related kinase family, integrates intracellular and environmental cues that coordinate a diverse set of cellular/tissue functions, such as cell growth, proliferation, metabolism, autophagy, apoptosis, longevity, protein/lipid/nucleotide synthesis, and tissue regeneration and repair [...].
