Tian found that ginkgo biloba leaf extract attenuates atherosclerosis in streptozotocin-induced diabetic ApoE−/− mice by Inhibiting ER stress via restoration of autophagy through the mTOR Signaling Pathway (Tian et al., 2019), which inspired us that the mTOR pathway is expected to become a promising target of ER stress-induced lung diseases. This evidence concerns the gene MTOR and atherosclerosis.
