The mTOR pathway integrates a diverse set of environmental cues, such as growth factor
signals and nutritional status, to direct eukaryotic cell growth. Over the past two and a half …

Phosphoinositides are signalling lipids derived from phosphatidylinositol, a ubiquitous
phospholipid in the cytoplasmic leaflet of eukaryotic membranes. Initially discovered for their …

Exciting new discoveries have transformed the view of the lysosome from a static organelle
dedicated to the disposal and recycling of cellular waste to a highly dynamic structure that …

Oncogenic signalling and metabolic alterations are interrelated in cancer cells. mTOR,
which is frequently activated in cancer, controls cell growth and metabolism. mTOR …

Abstract The Ser/Thr kinase mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) is a central regulator of
cellular metabolism. As part of mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1), mTOR integrates signals such …

Long known as terminal degradation stations, lysosomes have emerged as sophisticated
signalling centres that govern cell growth, division and differentiation. Lysosomes interface …

Hypercholesterolemia and dyslipidemia are associated with an increased risk for many
cancer types and with poor outcomes in patients with established disease. Whereas the …

Mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) is a protein kinase regulating cell growth, survival,
metabolism, and immunity. mTOR is usually assembled into several complexes such as …

Remarkable progress in ageing research has been achieved over the past decades.
General perceptions and experimental evidence pinpoint that the decline of physical …

Every cell must satisfy basic requirements for nutrient sensing, utilization and recycling
through macromolecular breakdown to coordinate programmes for growth, repair and stress …
