Standard hemoglobin screening may miss iron deficiency that could affect maternal health and newborn blood outcomes, including HDFN.

New noninvasive tools reveal that subtle shifts in brain blood flow and oxygen use may mirror key markers of Alzheimer’s risk ...

For many years, scientists have been puzzled by individuals who live in high-elevation areas throughout the world. Surveys of high-altitude populations, from areas of the Andes to regions of the ...

Scientists at Oregon State University have engineered a powerful new nanomaterial that zeroes in on cancer cells and destroys them from the inside out. Designed to exploit cancer’s unique ...

A recent mouse study suggests that low-oxygen conditions, such as being at high altitudes, could cause red blood cells to ...

A new study suggests rising carbon-dioxide levels may be slowly changing human blood chemistry and could impact long term ...

Subtle changes in brain blood flow and oxygen use are closely linked to hallmark signs of Alzheimer’s, including amyloid ...

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 ...

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 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 ...
