(PHYSorg.com Chemistry)

A team of researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and Texas Children`s Hospital has revealed a connection between mTORC1 and Src, two proteins known to be hyperactive in cancer. The study, published in the journal Nature Communications, shows that Src is necessary and sufficient to activate mTORC1 and offers the possibility to develop novel approaches to control cancer growth.
