Abstract

Modulation of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), the principal regulator of cellular homeostasis, underlies the biological effects of engineered nanoparticles, including regulation of cell death/survival and metabolic responses. Understanding the mechanisms and biological actions of nanoparticle-mediated mTOR modulation may help in developing safe and efficient nanotherapeutics to fight human disease.
