MTOR and cervical cancer: Previous studies have shown that puerarin impeded cell growth, blocked the cell development in the G0/G1 cell cycle phase, induced apoptosis in bladder cancer cells through the mTOR/p70 S6K signaling pathway, and suppressed cell growth and migration in human papillomavirus (HPV)-positive cervical cancer cells by inhibiting the PI3K/mTOR signaling pathway [29, 30].
