  • These findings suggest the involvement of MS1 in cellular hypertrophy and protection against apoptosis. (westminster.ac.uk)
  • Some studies also suggest that mTOR may be a cellular context-dependent, pleiotropic regulator of apoptosis, although conclusive demonstration of mTOR inactivation in such circumstances is lacking [ 19 ]. (biomedcentral.com)
