A TORrific story: Cell growth and its main regulators with Prof. Robbie Loewith

One of the most fundamental characteristics of life is its ability to multiply and spread. In the very core of these phenomena lies cellular growth as a complex process of synthesis and accumulation of biomacromolecules and structures that these molecules form inside the cell. As any complex biological process, the growth of the cell is strictly regulated where the key role is held by TOR protein complex (TORC). In this episode our correspondent Aleksandar Arsović and his guest Prof. Robbie Loewith talk about basic principles of cellular growth, history of TORC research, current work and research questions that Prof. Loewith's team aims to answer and the exciting future of this field of biology. Introduced by Olimpia Bompadre.
