A new signaling pathway for mTor-dependent cell growth

Date: August 27, 2019 Source: Forschungsverbund Berlin Summary:A team led by the scientist has now discovered how inactivation of a certain lipid kinase promotes mTor complex 1 activity, and may therefore constitute a new point of attack for the treatment of diabetes and cancer. The activation of mTor complex 1 in the cell is central to many vital processes...

Scientists discover potential new improved way to kill cancer cells

Scientists at the University of Glasgow have discovered a process to trigger the death of cancer cells that could be more effective than current methods. The new method of killing cancer cells – called Caspase Independent Cell Death (CICD), and published today in Nature Cell Biology, led to the complete eradication of tumours in experimental models. Currently most...
