Next, researchers analyzed the mTOR signaling-related protein activation ... were associated with activation of the amygdala through ERK signaling. Further studies in a mouse model of depression ...
The laboratory is studying small molecules that selectively inhibit the components of RAS-RAF-MEK-ERK and PI3K-AKT-mTOR pathways. These compounds are being used as reagents to define the role of these ...
The drug blocks the activity of a protein known as mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), which promotes proliferation through the activation of proteins such as S6 kinase. Although the mTOR ...
