The Ser/Thr protein kinase mTOR controls metabolic pathways, including the catabolic process of autophagy. Autophagy plays additional, catabolism-independent roles in homeostasis of cytoplasmic endomembranes and whole organelles. How signals from endomembrane damage are transmitted to mTOR to...
A quote from senior author Dr. Eileen White "The work is significant as it provides a mechanism by which autophagy inhibition suppresses cancer growth. Most tumors obtain nutrients from the...
"Our studies conducted in late 1990s reported on the phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PI3P) mechanism of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) phagosome maturation block. At that time we wondered...
