Lipid Metabolism: Cholesterol feeds into cell growth control

Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology 18, 277 (2017). doi:10.1038/nrm.2017.41 Author: Paulina Strzyz mTORC1 is a master regulator of cell growth, which responds to nutrient availability — in particular, amino acids. Castellano et al. now show that mTORC1 is also regulated by cholesterol, suggesting a strong link between sterol metabolism and cell growth control. Cholesterol is metabolized
