X Abstract

The sensing of oxygen levels and maintenance of oxygen homeostasis is crucial for cells. The hypoxic-sensitive regulation of gene expression allows information about the oxygen status to be converted into appropriate cellular responses. Although there is a core transcriptional pathway, the signalling cascade can be modified to allow diversity and specificity in the transcriptional output. In this Review, we discuss recent advances in our understanding of the mechanisms and factors that contribute to the observed diversity and specificity. A deeper knowledge about how hypoxic signalling is tuned will further our understanding of the cellular hypoxic response in normal physiology and how it becomes derailed in disease.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
