mTOR-Controlled Autophagy Requires Intracellular Ca(2+) Signaling.

Autophagy is a lysosomal degradation pathway important for cellular homeostasis and survival. Inhibition of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) is the best known trigger for autophagy stimulation. In addition, intracellular Ca(2+) regulates autophagy, but its exact role remains ambiguous. Here,...
