[PDF][PDF] mTOR signaling in growth, metabolism, and disease

RA Saxton, DM Sabatini - Cell, 2017 - cell.com
The mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) coordinates eukaryotic cell growth and metabolism
with environmental inputs, including nutrients and growth factors. Extensive research …

Emerging principles of cytokine pharmacology and therapeutics

RA Saxton, CR Glassman, KC Garcia - Nature Reviews Drug Discovery, 2023 - nature.com
Cytokines are secreted signalling proteins that play essential roles in the initiation, maintenance

X-ray properties of TDEs

R Saxton, S Komossa, K Auchettl, PG Jonker - Space Science Reviews, 2020 - Springer
Observational astronomy of tidal disruption events (TDEs) began with the detection of X-ray
flares from quiescent galaxies during the ROSAT all-sky survey of 1990–1991. The flares …

The first XMM-Newton slew survey catalogue: XMMSL1

RD Saxton, AM Read, P Esquej, MJ Freyberg… - Astronomy & …, 2008 - aanda.org
Aims.We report on the production of a large area, shallow, sky survey, from XMM-Newton
