Dementia-causing substance turns into a therapeutic 'switch' with new Alzheimer's drug str
A substance that worsens dementia has become a "switch" that initiates treatment. KAIST researchers have developed a new therapeutic approach that uses hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), a reactive oxygen species that damages cells and increases in the brains of patients with Alzheimer's
Cystic fibrosis doesn't just affect the lungs. It's a gut disease too
For decades, lung disease has been the most visible and life-threatening part of cystic fibrosis. People might picture chronic (long-term) cough, breathlessness, recurrent chest infections and oxygen therapy.
Low-oxygen treatment helped diseased mice live three times longer. Could humans benefit?
Oxygen isn't always a good thing. Of course, people—and most organisms—cannot live without it. But oxygen can also be quite toxic and lead to profound health consequences.
What World Cup football can teach us about managing fatigue in extreme conditions
A football player standing over a penalty in a hot, high-altitude stadium is dealing with more than pressure. His body is trying to keep cool. His heart and breathing may be working harder. Less oxygen is reaching his muscles. One poor decision can end his team's World Cup.
Normal oxygen levels can miss severe breathlessness driven by carbon dioxide
A study led by biomedical scientist Erica Heinrich at the University of California, Riverside, highlights a critical gap in how clinicians detect and treat breathing distress (dyspnea), particularly in patients on ventilators. The research is published in the journal Respiratory
Mouse study uncovers how transcription factors HIF1α and HIF2α regulate different aspects
Skeletal muscles—responsible for movement, joint stabilization and postural support—are highly metabolically active and heavily reliant on oxygen during physical activity. However, conditions such as high-intensity exercise or sustained exertion frequently expose skeletal muscles
Resuscitated human retinas respond to light 10 hours after death
Perfusing donor human retinas with blood and oxygen meant they continued to respond to light for up to 10 hours after death, marking a significant step towards eye transplants that restore vision
