The steroid hormone ecdysone regulates growth rate in response to oxygen availability
Abstract In almost all animals, physiologically low oxygen (hypoxia) during development slows growth and reduces adult body size. The developmental mechanisms that determine growth under hypoxic conditions are, however, poorly understood. Here we show that the growth and body size response to modera...
