The mortality of critically ill patients rises steadily as the partial pressure of arterial oxygen falls below about 11 kPa (80 mm Hg). A new animal study in the May 2005 issue of PLoS Biology showing a potential benefit for hypoxia is thus a challenge ...

Sestrin2 in hypoxia and hypoxia-related diseases [PDF]
Objectives: Sestrin2 is a stress-inducible protein and play an important role in adapting stress states of cells. This article reviewed the role of Sestrin2 in hypoxia and hypoxia-related diseases to provide new perspectives for future research and new therapeutic targets for hypoxia-related diseases.Methods: A review was conducted through an ...

HYPOXIA AND REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH: Hypoxia and labour [PDF]
Intermittent myometrial hypoxia is a normal feature of labour, as the powerful contractions compress blood vessels. In this review, we focus on the relation between hypoxia, myometrial metabolism, and contractility. We dissect how hypoxia can feedback and limit an ongoing contraction and help prevent foetal distress.

Hypoxia signaling in human health and diseases: implications and prospects for therapeutics
Molecular oxygen (O 2 ) is essential for most biological reactions in mammalian cells. When the intracellular oxygen content decreases, it is called hypoxia.

Hypoxia-inducible factors: master regulators of hypoxic tumor immune escape
Hypoxia, a common feature of the tumor microenvironment in various types of cancers, weakens cytotoxic T cell function and causes recruitment of regulatory T cells, thereby reducing tumoral immunogenicity.

Hypoxia and Inflammation [PDF]
To the Editor: In their review article on hypoxia and inflammation, Eltzschig and Carmeliet (Feb. 17 issue)1 were thorough in promoting the role of hypoxia-inducible transcription factor (HIF) and related mechanisms to regain homeostasis in hypoxic tissue environments. Although very exacting in its discussion, the review unfortunately failed to include

Hypoxia and Hypoxia-Inducible Factors in Leukemias [PDF]
Despite huge improvements in the treatment of leukemia, the percentage of patients suffering relapse still remains significant. Relapse most often results from a small number of leukemic stem cells (LSCs) within the bone marrow, which are able to self-renew, and therefore reestablish the full tumor.

Hypoxia. Hypoxia in the pathogenesis of systemic sclerosis [PDF]
Autoimmunity, microangiopathy and tissue fibrosis are hallmarks of systemic sclerosis (SSc). Vascular alterations and reduced capillary density decrease blood flow and impair tissue oxygenation in SSc. Oxygen supply is further reduced by accumulation of extracellular matrix (ECM), which increases diffusion distances from blood vessels to cells ...

Hypoxia is a common feature of solid tumors, and develops because of the rapid growth of the tumor that outstrips the oxygen supply, and impaired blood flow due to the formation of abnormal blood vessels supplying the tumor.
