The comic illustration shows G3BP (G) tethering the TSC complex to a lysosome, thereby preventing the MTOR (aka Thor) signaling protein from becoming active.

A novel mechanism protects against cancer cell migration and neuron hyperexcitability

G3BP proteins inhibit the metabolic driver MTOR, a signaling protein that plays a central role in tumor diseases and developmental disorders of the brain. This is reporte... [more]
