The Earth's magnetic field and oxygen evolved together over 540 million years, according to a major NASA study.

Scientists have discovered that red blood cells act as hidden glucose sponges in low-oxygen conditions, explaining why people ...

Hypoxic conditions trigger red blood cells to absorb and utilize more glucose, reducing blood sugar and offering a potential therapy to control diabetes.

Postdoctoral researcher Shivam Shukla from Florida International University develops non-invasive tools that improve early detection of non-healing diabetic wounds.

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 ...

A new study suggests that some of the world’s oxygen-deprived oceans could eventually regain higher oxygen levels in the centuries ahead, even as the planet continues to warm.

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 ...

Makers of medical devices that quickly measure oxygen levels in the blood would have to gather extra data to show that their products work for patients of color, under a new federal proposal released ...

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

SPIRIT LAKE, Iowa (KTIV) - Folks on Big Spirit Lake have been observing strange behavior in the fish there for the past few weeks because of low oxygen levels in the water. While this may sound like ...
