Ogawa T, Isik M, Wu Z, Kurmi K, Meng J, Cho S, et al.
Mol Cell . 2024 Nov; 84(23):4558-4575.e8. PMID: 39571580
Cellular growth and organismal development are remarkably complex processes that require the nutrient-responsive kinase mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1). Anticipating that important mTORC1 functions remained to be identified,...
