mTOR dysregulation induces IL-6 and paracrine AT2 cell senescence impeding lung repair in lymphangioleiomyomatosis - Nature Communications
Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a rare disease in women where TSC2 deficient mTOR signalling aberrant LAM cells and fibroblasts form nodules causing lung cysts and respiratory failure. Here the authors examine how mTOR dependent IL-6 causes senescence in alveolar type 2 cells which may result in impaired lung repair.
