Brain cell dysfunction in low oxygen is, surprisingly, caused by the very same responder system that is intended to be protective, according to a new published study by a team of researchers at the ...

When oxygen disappears, most fish suffocate. This one ferments its own metabolism and waits months for spring beneath frozen ...

Our bodies need oxygen to survive, just like many other organisms. Oxygen molecules are used to create a molecular fuel called ATP for our cells in an organelle called the mitochondria; this process ...

In specialized chambers throughout leading medical centers worldwide, patients breathe pure oxygen at pressures significantly higher than normal atmospheric conditions. This treatment, known as ...

The race is on to regenerate damaged tissue as a result of brain injury from the likes of stroke. But one of the many barriers to the success of stem cell biotechnology has been keeping cells alive ...

The advance can be used to evaluate the role of oxygen within cells and may have a variety of clinical uses in the future. Oxygen is vital for life, and clinicians can provide supplemental oxygen to ...

SCIENTISTS have developed a way of assessing the ability of red blood cells to deliver oxygen by measuring their shape. This test could improve specialist transplant and transfusion practice as well ...

New research reveals how ocean viruses burst algae cells, fueling a subsurface oxygen band through rapid microbial recycling.

After a finite number of divisions, cells simply give up. As each round of replication trims their telomeres—the protective caps at the chromosome ends—those caps eventually become too short to ...
