mTORC1 is activated when cells are fed with amino acids. New preprint with @robzonculab.bsky.social led by Rachel Jansen shows how the massive "CastiGATOR" complex is formed when arginine-free CASTOR1 binds to the GATOR2 complex to antagonize mTORC1 starved cells. tinyurl.com/yr6en6f4

Periodic reminder this is FDA-approved for men as well as women up to age 45! It covers 9 strains of HPV so even if you’ve been exposed to some, it can protect you from others. It works on strains that cause cervical, vaginal, vulvar, anal, throat and back of mouth cancer. Low-key medical miracle.
