DEPTOR is identified as a critical mechanistic candidate for disuse-driven MPS suppression.
Targeting DEPTOR may offer a therapeutic approach to counteract muscle loss during periods of disuse.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Notably, we implicate a putative role for muscle protein breakdown‐related molecular networks in impairing MPS during short‐term disuse, and further establish DEPTOR (a potent mTOR inhibitor) as a critical mechanistic candidate of disuse driven MPS suppression in humans.
Why this rating
Based on the identification of DEPTOR's role through experimental analysis.
