Signalling protein protects the heart muscle from pressure-related stress

Signalling protein protects the heart muscle from pressure-related stress, Published online: 30 January 2019; doi:10.1038/d41586-019-00245-3

If blood flow from the heart is impeded, the pressure created causes tissue dysfunction. It emerges that different signals converge on the TSC2 and mTOR proteins to fine-tune the response of heart cells to stress.
