Studies in animal models reveal that mTOR activation contributes to morphine tolerance and hyperalgesia, while mitochondrial iron accumulation promotes doxorubicin-associated cardiotoxicity. These findings suggest potential therapeutic targets for improving pain management and limiting cardiotoxicity.
