mTOR Pathway Control

Meaning

mTOR Pathway Control refers to the deliberate, clinical modulation of the Mammalian Target of Rapamycin (mTOR) signaling cascade, which functions as a master regulator of cellular growth, proliferation, protein synthesis, and systemic metabolism. Controlling this pathway involves implementing strategies to selectively activate it for anabolic processes, such as muscle repair and hypertrophy, or to transiently inhibit it to promote catabolic processes like autophagy and cellular recycling. Maintaining this precise balance is critical for tissue regeneration, metabolic health, and cellular longevity.
