New research suggests that exposure to lower oxygen levels at high altitude may trigger biological changes that could benefit people living with diabetes.

A recent report out of Oregon State University paints a picture of how ocean oxygen levels have decreased in the Pacific Northwest over the years. The report found near-bottom levels of dissolved ...

Researchers have found evidence that low oxygen levels in tumors could actually enhance some of the body's immune responses against cancer, in contrast with the general paradigm that hypoxia ...

Oxygen is critical to life. When levels of oxygen change, it can have immediate and lasting impacts on a person's health.

At altitudes over 2,400 metres, lack of oxygen — a condition called hypoxia — can cause acute mountain sickness. Incidence ...

A recent study explored one possible cause -- hyperoxia or high concentrations of oxygen given to such patients during surgery -- as opposed to doses more similar to air. The study concluded that ...

Jennifer Mallon receives funding from US-UK Fulbright Commission, Smithsonian Institution Fellowship Program, University of Glasgow Early Career Mobility Award and the Link Foundation. Adrian Michael ...

Researchers from the Broad Institute and Mass General Brigham have shown that a low-oxygen environment—similar to the thin air found at Mount Everest base camp—can protect the brain and restore ...

Giving very premature babies high concentrations of oxygen soon after birth may reduce the risk of death by 50 percent, compared to lower levels of oxygen says new research led by University of Sydney ...
