Drug-Sensitized Yeast for mTOR Inhibitor Discovery
2026-09-08
A 2025 GeroScience study engineered drug-sensitized Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains to expose TOR-dependent growth inhibition at substantially lower concentrations than wild-type yeast. The platform improved detection of established TOR inhibitors, identified aminophylline as a TOR1-dependent growth inhibitor, and provided no evidence that the tested cardiovascular comparator inhibited TOR in this model.
