More than 20 years after its discovery, our understanding of target of rapamycin (TOR)
signalling continues to grow. Recent global'omics' studies have revealed physiological roles
of mammalian TOR (mTOR) in protein, nucleotide and lipid synthesis. Furthermore,
emerging evidence provides new insight into the control of mTOR by other pathways such
as Hippo, WNT and Notch signalling. Together, this progress has expanded the list of
downstream effectors and upstream regulators of mTOR signalling.
