Dissecting Rapamycin sensitive and insensitive effects of mTOR

所有的细胞都拥有一种机制，可以感知营养物质的可用性，并触发细胞生长和营养物质储存途径。然而，营养过剩对健康有害。最近，研究表明，抑制营养传感器的药物具有延长寿命的作用。我们的实验室已经发现了一种新的机制，通过这种机制，这些药物可能会介导这些有益的作用，这可能会改变我们对这些药物的有益作用及其作用模式的看法

All cells possess machinery that can sense nutrient availability and trigger cell growth and nutrient storage pathways. However, nutrient oversupply is detrimental to health. Recently, it was shown that drugs that inhibit the nutrient sensors have life extending effects. Our laboratory has discovered a novel mechanism by which these drugs might be mediating these beneficial effects that could change the way we think about the beneficial effects of these drugs and their mode of action
