Among the various molecular mechanisms reported so far (Lin and Holt 2008; Holt et al. 2019), the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) complex is described as a master regulator of local axonal translation and an important signaling process in axonal regeneration (Verma et al. 2005; Park et al. 2008; Terenzio et al. 2018), while also being affected in many different tumor types (Murray and Tee 2018). This evidence concerns the gene MTOR and neoplasm.
