Two parallel pathways connect glutamine metabolism and mTORC1 activity to regulate glutamoptosis

The metabolism of amino acids and the cellular energy sensor AMPK are both connected to mTORC1, but the pathway details have not been well defined. Here, the authors show that glutamine metabolism and mTORC1 have two regulatory connections with relevance to cancer therapeutics design.
