Treatment with molecular shipping containers loaded with a signaling molecule reduced the severity of pulmonary hypertension in a rat model.

Diabetes is less common among people living at high altitudes, where oxygen levels are low, than at sea level, and researchers who have discovered why that happens say the reason may lead to new ...

The absorbed glucose helps the cells produce a molecule that improves their ability to release oxygen to tissues. This is crucial when oxygen is limited, allowing the body to function more efficiently ...

Scientists have long known that people living at high altitudes, where oxygen levels are low, have lower rates of diabetes ...

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.

UC Riverside researchers have developed an oxygen-delivering gel capable of healing injuries that might otherwise progress to ...

In a 2023 paper on hypoxia and glucose metabolism, our lab showed how organisms rewire their metabolism to adapt to low oxygen levels—such as those found at high altitudes. One of the most striking ...

Red blood cells may hold the secret to fighting diabetes—by soaking up sugar when oxygen runs low. People who live high in the mountains have long been observed to develop diabetes less often than ...

Scientists have long known that people living at high altitudes, where oxygen levels are low, have lower rates of diabetes than people living closer to sea level. But the mechanism of this protection ...

Millions thrive at high altitudes due to remarkable genetic adaptations. Tibetans, for instance, possess a gene variant allowing efficient oxygen use without dangerously thick blood. Andeans and ...

Brain activity has been detected up to an hour after cardiac arrest, challenging long-held beliefs about when death truly occurs.
