The process whereby a signal is passed on to downstream components within the cell, which become activated themselves to further propagate the signal and finally trigger a change in the function or state of the cell. A series of molecular signals mediated by TOR (Target of rapamycin) proteins, members of the phosphoinositide (PI) 3-kinase related kinase (PIKK) family that act as serine/threonine kinases in response to nutrient availability or growth factors. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of signaling via the TOR signaling pathway. The process whereby an activated receptor conveys information down the signaling pathway, resulting in a change in the function or state of a cell. Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of signaling via the TOR signaling pathway. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of signaling via the TOR signaling pathway. The series of molecular events whereby information is sent from one location to another within a cell.
