A gene for all seasons: The evolutionary consequences of HIF-1 in carcinogenesis, tumor growth and metastasis
1 Jul 2024
Abstract excerpt
Oxygen played a pivotal role in the evolution of multicellularity during the Cambrian Explosion. Not surprisingly, responses to fluctuating oxygen concentrations are integral to the evolution of cancer-a disease characterized by the breakdown of multicellularity. Poorly organized tumor vasculature results in chaotic patterns of blood flow characterized by large spatial and temporal variations in intra-tumoral...
