Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is a medical treatment that increases blood plasma oxygen levels 10 to 20 times higher than normal to assist the body in healing its damaged tissues.

Diabetes reversed in mice with a pill mimicking high altitude hypoxia. Scientists say red blood cells hold the key.

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 ...
