Rapamycin Differentially Impacts Germline Stem Cell Quiescence Across Diverse Genetic Backgrounds of <i>Drosophila Melanogaster</i>
2025-12-04
Abstract excerpt
In response to ionizing radiation, stem cells enter a state of temporary quiescence, safeguarding the stem cell pool for tissue regeneration. Quiescence requires the inhibition of mTORC1, a kinase complex that promotes growth and suppresses autophagy, and cell cycle re-entry requires the reactivation of mTORC1. The pharmacological inhibition of mTORC1 in quiescent stem cells by rapamycin prevents cell cycle re-ent...
