TORC1 modulation in adipose tissue is required for organismal adaptation to hypoxia in Drosophila

The hypoxia response pathway couples oxygen availability to physiological adaptations. Using the model system Drosophila melanogaster, here the authors show that hypoxia inhibits TORC1 signalling and increases lipid levels in the larval fat body and that these effects are required for development to...
