Research Abstract |
Animal development is greatly influenced by nutrient status, and growth of each organ is precisely coordinated according to the body size. Although derangement of nutrient-dependent growth is thought to be associated with tumorigenesis, the mechanism that links development with nutrient status remains elusive. In this study, I have obtained several findings which suggest that genetic products called insulin/insulin-like growth factors and Rag play an important role in coordinating development with nutritional conditions.
