The mTOR pathway is necessary for survival of mice with short telomeres

Telomerase deficiency leads to age-related diseases and shortened lifespan, while inhibition of the mTOR pathway delays aging. Here, the authors show that inhibition of mTORC1 signaling shortens the lifespan of telomerase deficient mice.
