New insights into tuberous sclerosis complex: from structure to pathogenesis.
Tuberous sclerosis complex is a genetic disorder characterised by the formation of benign tumours in multiple organs, primarily due to pathogenic variants in the TSC1 and TSC2 tumour suppressor genes. These genes encode hamartin and tuberin, respectively, which together with TBC1D7 form a crucial protein complex regulating cell growth and proliferation through mTOR signalling and other pathways. This review provides an overview of recent progress in understanding the molecular structure and function of this key protein complex, its role in cellular processes, pathogenesis, and current and future therapeutic strategies.
期刊介绍:
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology is a broad-scope, interdisciplinary open-access journal, focusing on the fundamental processes of life, led by Prof Amanda Fisher and supported by a geographically diverse, high-quality editorial board.
The journal welcomes submissions on a wide spectrum of cell and developmental biology, covering intracellular and extracellular dynamics, with sections focusing on signaling, adhesion, migration, cell death and survival and membrane trafficking. Additionally, the journal offers sections dedicated to the cutting edge of fundamental and translational research in molecular medicine and stem cell biology.
With a collaborative, rigorous and transparent peer-review, the journal produces the highest scientific quality in both fundamental and applied research, and advanced article level metrics measure the real-time impact and influence of each publication.
