Material Detail

A free, 10-lesson self-paced course teaching the mechanistic biology of mTOR (mechanistic target of rapamycin) signaling — from what mTOR is through nutrient sensing, growth factor signaling, feedback regulation, and autophagy — for students and self-directed learners with a basic biology background. Every mechanistic claim links to the primary study behind it in Oliver's mTOR Atlas, an evidence-graded database of 354 curated mTOR studies, with that study's evidence tier (A-D) attached. Each lesson includes think-questions and a short quiz; the course closes with a lesson on how to critically read a primary mTOR paper. Free, no account required, CC BY 4.0.
