Intracellular amino acid sensing and mTORC1-regulated growth: new ways to block an old target?
Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) complex 1 (mTORC1) is a multicomponent, nutrient-sensitive protein that is implicated in a wide range of major human diseases. mTORC1 responds to both growth factors and changes in local amino acid levels. Until recently, the intracellular amino acid-sensing mech...
