Long‐term p110α PI3K inactivation exerts a beneficial effect on metabolism

The insulin/insulin‐like growth factor‐1 signalling (IIS) pathway regulates cellular and organismal metabolism and controls the rate of aging. Gain‐of‐function mutations in p110α, the principal mammalian IIS‐responsive isoform of PI 3‐kinase (PI3K), promote cancer. In contrast, loss‐of‐function m…
