Deskripsi

The mechanisms by which organisms adapt their growth according to the availability of oxygen are incompletely understood. Here the authors identify the D rosophila fat body as a tissue regulating growth in response to oxygen sensing via a mechanism involving Hph inhibition, HIF1-a activation and insulin secretion.
