Modulating Nucleus Oxygen Concentration by Altering Intramembrane Cholesterol Levels: Creating Hypoxic Nucleus in Oxic Conditions

We propose a novel mechanism by which cancer cells can modulate the oxygen concentration within the nucleus, potentially creating low nuclear oxygen conditions without the need of an hypoxic micro-environment and suited for allowing cancer cells to resist chemo- and radio-therapy. The cells ability...
