Growth and aging: a common molecular mechanism
نویسندگان
چکیده
It is commonly assumed that growth and aging are somehow linked, but the nature of this link has been elusive. Here we review the aging process as a continuation of TOR-driven growth. TOR is absolutely essential for developmental growth, but upon completion of development it causes aging and age-related diseases. Thus, the nutrient-sensing and growth-promoting TOR signaling pathway may provide a molecular link between growth and aging that is universal from yeast to human.

Pyricularia oryzae (Tel. Magnaporthegrisea) is currently used as a fungal model for plantmicrobeinteraction studies as well as an indicative model for anticancer drug discovery. Thepresent study introduces the optimal condition in which P. oryzae grows and sporulates beston common culture media. We have considered three fungal culture media, i.e. PDA, PCA andWA, based on which P. oryzae sporula...
