    The role of hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF-1α) modulation in heavy metal toxicity

    Hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) is an oxygen-sensing transcriptional regulator orchestrating a complex of adaptive cellular responses to hypoxia. Several studies have demonstrated that toxic metal exposure ...
