hypoxia

Research into how pancreatic tumors adapt to stress could lead to a new treatment approach.

To avoid the negative effects of ambient oxygen, researchers must grow cells in precise conditions.  

Discover reasons for avoiding low oxygen levels in cell cultures.

Injecting oxygen-generating algae into tadpoles allows brain activity to continue in the absence of oxygen, researchers find.

While exploring suspended animation in mice, scientists discover how an enzyme can protect the brain from dangerously low levels of oxygen.

High altitude is a natural laboratory for investigating pregnancy complications, such as preeclampsia and gestational hypertension, that restrict a fetus’s oxygen supply.

Researchers find a widespread decline in dissolved oxygen levels in lakes, which is known to reshape ecosystems.

Scientists document a growing list of atypical coronavirus infection symptoms, giving doctors more insight into the emerging disease.

The birds also decrease their heart rate and chill their blood to maintain flight in hypoxic conditions.

The University of Portsmouth sports scientist and open-water swimmer investigates the human body’s response to extreme conditions.

The adaptation gives better endurance to the Bajau people, known as sea nomads, by increasing spleen size and, in turn, boosting the number of oxygenated red blood cells when diving.  

What researchers are learning as they sequence, map, and decode species’ genomes

Mayo Clinic researchers set up shop in the Himalayas to study the physiology of climbers attempting to scale the world's highest peak.

Whole brain radiation therapy costs mice some of their cognitive abilities, but treatment with low-oxygen air revives their reasoning skills.

Researchers seeking a link between vision problems and the dangerous physiological effects of hypoxia in mountain climbers are taking their work to new heights.
