Hypoxia-inducible factor in cancer: from pathway regulation to therapeutic opportunity by Brian M Ortmann

“…HIF’s dysregulation is frequently observed in various cancer types and correlates with increased aggressiveness, metastasis, resistance to therapy and poor patient prognosis. Consequently, understanding the cellular mechanisms underlying HIF activation and its downstream effects has become crucial to developing targeted cancer therapies for improving cancer patient outcomes and represents a key step towards precision medicine.Recent advancements in drug development have led to the emergence of HIF inhibitors, which aim to disrupt HIF-driven processes in cancer providing therapeutic benefit. …”
