This interesting study provides a new perspective on the role of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)-Akt-mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway in ribosome biogenesis and translation. Most previous studies have focused on the pathway from PI3K, Akt, TSC1/TSC2, Rheb-GTP to TORC1-mediated p70S6k and 4E-binding protein (BP)1...
