Hypoxia News and Research

RSS

Hypoxia is a condition in which there is a decrease in the oxygen supply to a tissue. In cancer treatment, the level of hypoxia in a tumor may help predict the response of the tumor to the treatment.

Powerhouse-pruning protein may also help make energy rapidly available for growing new blood vessels

A protein that helps keep our cell powerhouses working at a premium appears to also help make energy rapidly available when it's time to make new blood vessels.

Elevated P2X7 receptor levels in COVID-19 patients correlate with disease severity

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv preprint server, researchers demonstrated that the soluble P2X7 receptor is increased in severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) patients. They also showed that the elevated P2X7 receptors correlated with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) severity.

Reduced cognitive efficacy and cardiovascular changes in patients post-COVID-19 recovery

Researchers evaluated the association between cognitive impairment and clinical-functional variables in the coronavirus disease 2019 post-acute period.

7 Mar 2022

Severity-dependent immune mechanisms in the cerebrospinal fluid and plasma of COVID-19 patients

Researchers determined the immune mechanisms associated with severe neurological manifestations of COVID-19.

COVID-19 related placental tissue destruction and insufficiency may cause stillbirth and neonatal death from hypoxic-ischemic injury

Researchers evaluate the role of the placenta in causing stillbirth and neonatal death post-maternal COVID-19 and confirmed placental positivity for SARS-CoV-2.

16 Feb 2022

How SARS-CoV-2 infection progresses throughout the respiratory system

Researchers discuss the progression of SARS-CoV-2 infection throughout the respiratory epithelium.

9 Feb 2022

The impact of SARS-CoV-2 variants on clinical trajectory and outcome
