Thus, novel, effective therapies are required for treatment of this disease. Results We found that tumours in KRAS PTEN mice exhibit a remarkable dependence on mTOR signalling. In these tumours, mTOR ...

Autophagy is a highly conserved lysosomal degradation system that involves the creation of autophagosomes, which eventually fuse with lysosomes and breakdown misfolded proteins and damaged organelles ...

Rapamycin’s in vivo activities are generally ascribed to its binding to the protein FKBP12, leading to potent inhibition of the mechanistic target of rapamycin kinase (mTOR) by the FKBP12-rapamycin ...

Researchers from Centro de Investigación Biomédica en Red sobre Enfermedades Neurodegenerativas (CIBERNED), Miramoon Pharma SL and affiliated organizations published the preclinical characterization ...

Here, we describe how the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) pathway in osteoblasts controls bone formation by suppressing the mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway. We also show ...

Rapamycin is an immunosuppressant macrolide that exhibits anti-proliferative properties through inhibiting the mTOR kinase. In fact, the drug first associates with the FKBP12 enzyme before interacting ...
