Tuning mTOR activity for immune balance.
The mTOR pathway orchestrates diverse physiological processes, including T cell functions and fate decisions; however, the regulation of mTOR-dependent T cell differentiation remains elusive. In this issue, Park et al. examine the role of TSC1, an mTOR signaling regulator, in T cell differentiation and the balance between T cell-mediated immunity and tolerance. They found that enhanced mTOR act...
متن کاملHomeostasis and the Importance for a Balance Between AKT/mTOR Activity and Intracellular Signaling
The AKT family of serine threonine kinases is of critical importance with regard to growth factor signaling, cell proliferation, survival and oncogenesis. Engagement of signaling receptors induces the lipid kinase, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), which enables the activation of AKT. Responsive to the PI3K/AKT pathway is the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), a major effector that is sp...
متن کاملVirus-like nanostructures for tuning immune response
Synthetic vaccines utilize viral signatures to trigger immune responses. Although the immune responses raised against the biochemical signatures of viruses are well characterized, the mechanism of how they affect immune response in the context of physical signatures is not well studied. In this work, we investigated the ability of zero- and one-dimensional self-assembled peptide nanostructures ...
متن کاملHow to Grow a Cell: Fine-Tuning Secretory Activity to Balance Growth and Cell Wall Integrity.
Plant cell growth requires an increase in surface area which is achieved by the de novo synthesis and delivery of new cell membrane and cell wall components from the interior of the cell to the cell surface. This delivery is accomplished by secretory vesicles that dock to and ultimately fuse with the plasma membrane in a process called exocytosis. The new membrane and cell wall, combined with a...
متن کاملPPARγ/mTOR signalling: striking the right balance in cartilage homeostasis
Osteoarthritis (OA) is still a highly prevalent and disabling disease for which we do not have a cure. In the last decade, however, the unravelling of molecular mechanisms controlling joint homeostasis, the advances in targeting technologies, and the improvement of animal models allowing the use of mouse genetics has led to the identification of molecular targets that, in animal models, and pos...
