Multiple conserved signaling pathways have been shown to modulate organismal aging as well as disease states, including the nutrient-sensing TOR pathway. The TOR pathway regulates several central cellular processes, including protein synthesis and the intracellular recycling process autophagy. Both of these biological processes have been shown to play important roles in ensuring longevity in numerous model organisms, yet the precise underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. I will here discuss our lab’s recent efforts to address how these two key cellular processes may contribute to aging and disease.
