To grow and divide cells must tightly coordinate anabolic programs with the availability of nutrients and growth factors. This balance is especially critical during postnatal development, when biosynthetic and energetic demands are high, and nutrient supply and neonates have to adapt to periods of fasting. These conditions place acute stress on the proteostasis network, making autophagy essential for nutrient recycling. We found that the chaperone aryl hydrocarbon receptor-interacting protein (AIP) supports both arms of this metabolic balance: promoting anabolic PI3K-AKT signaling for mTORC1 activation and enabling catabolic processes such as proteasomal degradation and autophagy. Loss of AIP causes a severe neonatal metabolic disorder, where affected infants fail to thrive postnatally. Our findings establish AIP as a central regulator of neonatal metabolic adaptation and cellular homeostasis. One Sentence SummaryAIP integrates nutrient sensing and protein recycling to sustain neonatal survival.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
