Preferential activation of HIF-2 adaptive mechanisms in neuronal-like cells in response to hypoxia

Presentation / Conference
Fraser, J., Baudel, M., Rae, M., Darlison, M., & Poole, A. (2017, April)
Preferential activation of HIF-2 adaptive mechanisms in neuronal-like cells in response to hypoxia. Poster presented at British Neuroscience Association - festival of neuroscience 2017
Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Blockage, or occlusion, of cerebral arteries causes irreversible neuronal damage as disrupted blood flow starves n...
