mTORC1 regulates beta cell survival, function and adaptation to physiologic and pathological stimuli. Here Niet al. demonstrate that that deficiency of Raptor, a component of mTORC1 complex, impairs insulin secretion and glucose tolerance in mice by affecting maturation of beta cells during the postnatal period.
