Researchers discover how low-oxygen environments at high altitudes reduce diabetes prevalence, revealing potential new treatments that use red blood cells as 'glucose sponges'.

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

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is a medical treatment that increases blood plasma oxygen levels 10 to 20 times higher than normal to assist the body in healing its damaged tissues.

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 ...

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

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 ...

As aging populations and rising diabetes rates drive an increase in chronic wounds, more patients face the risk of amputations. UC Riverside researchers have developed an oxygen-delivering gel capable ...

Since the beginning of January, an unusually long period of easterly winds has caused the average water level in the Baltic ...
