Transcriptomic analysis of iPSC-derived endothelium reveals adaptations to high altitude hypoxia in energy metabolism and inflammation
10 Feb 2025
Abstract excerpt
Tibetan adaptation to high-altitude hypoxia remains a classic example of Darwinian selection in humans. Amongst Tibetan populations, alleles in the EPAS1 gene - whose protein product, HIF-2α, is a central regulator of the hypoxia response - have repeatedly been shown to carry some of the strongest signals of positive selection in humans. However, selective sweep signals alone may only account for some of the...
