Pathophysiological Response to Hypoxia — From the Molecular Mechanisms of Malady to Drug Discovery: Hypoxia-Inducible Factor-1 (HIF-1)-Active Cells as a Target for Cancer Therapy
The microenvironment of solid tumors is characterized by low pO2 that is well below physiological levels. Intratumoral hypoxia is a major factor contributing to cancer progression and is exacerbated as a result of oxygen consumption by rapidly proliferating tumor cells near blood vessels, poor lymph...
