Scientists have found that a special component in some people's blood provides them with natural protection against malaria. A recent study has demonstrated that a genetic variant named rs112233623-T ...

Applying heat after a strenuous workout accelerates muscle recovery. One review showed evidence of heat therapy reducing ...

Scientists found low oxygen at high altitude makes red blood cells absorb excess glucose, lowering diabetes risk. In mice, a ...

Researchers have developed a battery-powered oxygen gel that accelerates the healing of chronic diabetic wounds ...

Diabetes reversed in mice with a pill mimicking high altitude hypoxia. Scientists say red blood cells hold the key.

Chronic wounds often spiral out of control because oxygen can’t reach the deepest layers of injured tissue. A new gel developed at UC Riverside delivers a continuous flow of oxygen right where it’s ...

With this multipurpose health testing device, you can measure your body temperature and blood oxygen saturation, take an ECG, and listen to your heart and lungs with a pair of headphones.

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 ...

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 ...
