mTORC1 Promotes SARS-CoV-2 Replication and Attenuates Type I Interferon Responses in the Alveolar Epithelium: A Computational and Experimental Study

Abstract The mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) has been implicated in coronavirus pathogenesis, yet its precise role in shaping antiviral defenses in pneumocytes remains unresolved. This study combines ex vivo human lung tissue assays with a literature-curated, l...
