The Cytoprotective and Cytotoxic Functions of Autophagy in Response to mTOR Inhibitors
The inhibitors of mammalian target of rapapmycin (mTOR), everolimus, temsirolimus and rapamycin, have a wide range of clinical utility; however, as is inevitably the case with other chemotherapeutic agents, resistance development deroyal finger spring constrains their effectiveness.One putative mechanism of resistance is the promotion of autophagy,
