In this study, researchers examine the effects of two drugs, everolimus and metformin, on triple-negative breast cancer. Everolimus blocks a protein called mTOR, while metformin blocks part of the mitochondria, the energy powerhouses of cells. ...
The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) is a protein kinase that forms two functionally distinct complexes important for nutrient and growth factor signaling. Both complexes phosphorylate a hydrophobic motif on downstream protein kinases, which contributes to the activation of these kinases. mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1) ...
