    GlossarymTOR (mechanistic target of rapamycin)

    regulates cell growth and metabolism in response to nutrients

    mTOR, or the mechanistic target of rapamycin, is a protein that acts as a central regulator of cell growth, proliferation, and survival. It integrates signals from nutrients, growth factors, and cellular energy status to control processes like protein synthesis and autophagy. This pathway is significant in various biological contexts, including hair growth and alopecia, as it influences the activity of hair follicle cells.
