Hypoxia Signaling in Vascular Homeostasis

Physiology (Bethesda). 2018 Sep 1;33(5):328-337. doi: 10.1152/physiol.00018.2018.

Abstract

Hypoxia signaling in the vasculature controls vascular permeability, inflammation, vascular growth, and repair of vascular injury. In this review, we summarize recent insights in this burgeoning field and highlight the importance of studying the heterogeneity of hypoxia responses among individual patients, distinct vascular beds, and even individual vascular cells.
