Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mutations in LMNA encoding nuclear envelope proteins lamin A/C cause dilated cardiomyopathy. Activation of the AKT/mTOR (RAC-α serine/threonine-protein kinase/mammalian target of rapamycin) pathway is implicated as a potential pathophysiologic mechanism. The aim of this study was to assess whether pharmacological inhibition of mTOR signaling has beneficial effects on heart function and prolongs...
