Open AccessKnockout of Vdac1 activates hypoxia-inducible factor through reactive oxygen species generation and induces tumor growth by promoting metabolic reprogramming and inflammation
Mitochondria are more than just the powerhouse of cells; they dictate if a cell dies or survives. Mitochondria are dynamic organelles that constantly undergo fusion and fission in response to environmental con...

Hypoxic VDAC1: A Potential Mitochondrial Marker for Cancer Therapy
Finding new therapeutic targets to fight cancer is an ongoing quest. Because of insufficiencies in tumor vasculature, cells often are exposed to a hostile microenvironment that is low in oxygen (hypoxic) and n...

Open AccessA Dialogue between the Hypoxia-Inducible Factor and the Tumor Microenvironment
The hypoxia-inducible factor is the key protein responsible for the cellular adaptation to low oxygen tension. This transcription factor becomes activated as a result of a drop in the partial pressure of oxyge...

Hypoxia and Tumour Angiogenesis
The hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) is a well-known transcription factor recognized to play a key role in tumour angiogenesis through a cellular response to a low tissue oxygen concentration, a feature of a rap...
