  1. mTORC1 = cellular growth/aging switch

    ACTIVE (nutrients abundant):

    → Protein synthesis ↑

    → Autophagy ↓

    → Growth mode

    INHIBITED (nutrient restriction):

    → Autophagy ↑

    → Stress resistance ↑

    → Lifespan extended (+13-26% in mice with rapamycin)

    Trade-off: growth vs longevity

  2. Unlocking mTOR: Intermittent fasting, coffee, and exercise are keys. During exercise, mTOR is suppressed, but after? It springs back!

  7. “…scientists made a surprising discovery: caffeine doesn’t act on this growth switch directly. Instead, it works by activating another important system called AMPK, a cellular fuel gauge that is evolutionarily conserved in yeast and humans.” #DNA #epigenetics #coffee #ISOGG #geneadons #caffeine #AMPK #MTOR

  8. `Here, we show that decreasing the activity of the #mTOR signaling pathway induces human pluripotent stem cells... & blastoids to enter a dormant state with limited proliferation, developmental progression, & capacity to attach to endometrial cells..similar to other species, the ability to enter dormancy is active in human cells around the blastocyst stage & is reversible..The pacing of human #blastocyst development has potential implications for reproductive therapies`

  9. New paper! Great collaboration between our group and the @mz at @biozentrum @unibasel - supported by a Sinergia grant of the @snsf_ch.

    Aberrant #proteostasis (balance between protein synthesis and degradation, centrally regulated by #mTOR) and mitochondrial dysfunction are two of the most prominent and reproducible processes associated with #aging in skeletal #muscle (and other tissues).

  10. Did you know that recordings of our first #MoreThanOurRank #MTOR community calls are now available for viewing on our website? inorms.net/more-than-our-rank-

  11. INORMS Research Evaluation Group invites you to join our #MoreThanOurRank Community Calls: inorms.net/more-than-our-rank-

    We organise two calls, March 24 and April 17, 2023, in different time zones to ensure opportunities for community participation worldwide.

    #MTOR is a response to some of the problematic effects of the global university rankings. By participating academic institutions show commitment to responsible assessment and acknowledge a broad and diverse definition of institutional success.

  12. #introduction: The INORMS Research Evaluation Group #INORMS_REG members are representing #ResearchManagementAssociations #RMA from across the globe. Our focus is #ResponsibleResearchEvaluation.

    The latest #INORMS_REG initiatives are #SCOPE: A step-by-step guide for evaluating research responsibly, and #MoreThanOurRank #MTOR: A response to some of the problematic effects of the #GlobalUniversityRankings.

    #INORMS_REG is chaired by @lizziegadd We also have a website inorms.net/research-evaluation

  13. #TSC2 regulates #tumor susceptibility to TRAIL-mediated T #lymphocyte killing by orchestrating #mTOR signaling

  14. "Here, we have identified the mTOR pathway as a major determinant of chemosensitivity through a genome-wide CRISPR knockout screen. We show that mTOR inhibition causally leads to the emergence of a reversible drug-tolerant persister population with a senescence phenotype, which is dependent on autophagy and G2/M cell cycle arrest for survival."
