Mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) senses amino acids to control cell growth, metabolism, and autophagy. Some amino acids signal to mTORC1 through the Rag GTPase, whereas glutamine and ...

Genome sequencing revealed that there are approximately 20,000 protein-coding genes in the human genome. However, one million proteins with distinct functions are predicted in the human proteome. Post ...

As the aging population increases, the race to unpack the molecular understanding of aging heats up. The rapamycin (mTOR) complex 1 (mTORC1) is known to be a key component of multiple functions of the ...

Cytotoxic T lymphocytes play a crucial role in adaptive immunity, primarily defending against tumors and viruses. These cells develop within the thymus gland and undergo rapid activation upon ...

A transformative study has uncovered the pivotal role of the protein Naked cuticle homolog 2 (NKD2) in regulating the differentiation of bone-forming osteoblasts and bone-resorbing osteoclasts. This ...

For example, naïve T cells increase in size before undergoing a burst of proliferation, while liver and fat cells enlarge or contract in response to nutrient availability. In these cases, size changes ...
