Journal ArticleDOI
The tor pathway: a target for cancer therapy
TL;DR: In addition to the role of rapamycin as an immune suppressant, emerging data indicate that genetic and metabolic changes accompanying malignant transformation might cause hypersensitivity to TOR inhibition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phosphorylation of the translational repressor PHAS-I by the mammalian target of rapamycin
Gregory J. Brunn,Christine C. Hudson,Aleksandar Sekulic,Aleksandar Sekulic,Aleksandar Sekulic,Josie M. Williams,Hajime Hosoi,Peter J. Houghton,John C. Lawrence,Robert T. Abraham +9 more
TL;DR: A role for mTOR in translational control is defined and further insights into the mechanism whereby rapamycin inhibits G1-phase progression in mammalian cells are offered.
Journal ArticleDOI
Establishment of human tumor xenografts in immunodeficient mice.
TL;DR: This protocol details a method for establishing xenografts from primary solid-tumor isolates or cells grown in culture and relies on immunodeficient mice to provide a host for the establishment of human xenografteds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Targeting mTOR signaling for cancer therapy.
Shile Huang,Peter J. Houghton +1 more
TL;DR: Emerging results suggest that inhibition of mTOR signaling can be exploited as a potential tumour-selective therapeutic strategy.
Journal ArticleDOI
mTOR and cancer therapy.
John Easton,Peter J. Houghton +1 more
TL;DR: The sporadic responses from the initial clinical trials are now beginning to be understood owing to a more complete understanding of the dynamics of mTOR regulation and the function of m TOR in the tumor microenvironment.
