August 2013 in “Journal of experimental botany” This study found that specific ATP-competitive TOR inhibitors (asTORis) decrease root growth in Arabidopsis thaliana in a dose-dependent manner, similar to their effects on mammalian cells.
January 2018 in “Social Science Research Network” This study reports that hair regeneration can be stimulated by small molecules like α-ketoglutarate, α-ketobutyrate, rapamycin, and metformin, which activate autophagy pathways.
