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 ...

Researchers are shedding new light on the link between diet and cancer growth—especially the way certain fats may fuel aggressive forms of breast cancer. A new study has found that linoleic acid, a ...

Interrupting one function of a protein that plays a key role in cell signaling could enable the development of new cancer ...
