New Delhi: Oxygen deficiency, medically called hypoxia, describes a state in which tissues receive insufficient oxygen to meet metabolic needs. In the context of cancer, tumour hypoxia refers to areas ...

By Vijay Kumar Malesu New research reveals how hypoxia-driven red blood cell adaptations may reshape glucose regulation, offering fresh insight into diabetes biology and potential therapeutic ...

In a 2023 paper on hypoxia and glucose metabolism, our lab showed how organisms rewire their metabolism to adapt to low ...

Researchers aimed at clarifying the mechanism underlying this connection and tracking the fate of glucose in hypoxic animals.

Hypoxia, a condition characterized by reduced oxygen availability, has been widely studied for its potential therapeutic benefits in various diseases, including neurodegenerative disorders.
