A 80-year-old man was regularly surveyed in our service since 1987 for a relapsing polychondritis and treated with Dapsone, 100 mg per day, with a good outcome on chondritis. During the follow-up, a prostate carcinoma was diagnosed in 1990 and treated with surgery and brachytherapy. An in situ bladder carcinoma was treated in 1997 with BCG therapy. Both carcinomas were regularly surveyed and re...

The mTOR signaling pathway modulates metabolic processes with respect to nutrient availability and other growth-related cues. According to the existing paradigm, mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1) activityin vivo is induced by food and gradually decreases during fasting. We found that mTORC1 activity is controlled by an internal clock mechanism different from the known light-entrainable circadian clock. W...
