Bigger Cells Ahead: The Impact of mTOR Inhibition

Bigger Cells Ahead: The Impact of mTOR Inhibition
Using Nanolive's label-free imaging technology, cell death and changes in cell morphology can be monitored in real time for long periods, making it a powerful tool for drug development and toxicology studies.

In this footage, cells were treated with a mTOR inhibitor and their area was monitored over 40h without the need of fluorophores or dyes. mTOR inhibitors are drugs that target the mechanistic/ mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), a key regulatory kinase involved in cell growth, proliferation, metabolism, and survival.
