Download or read book Oxygen Sensing in Tissues written by Helmut Acker and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-14 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers a wide biological range of problems regarding oxygen sensing in tissues. Oxygen sensing is defined as a process in which 02 reacts with different cellular components to avoid hypoxic cell damages. Oxygen sensing contributes to auxiliary mechanisms which help bacteria, invertebrates, vertebrates, and mammalians to survive and withstand hypoxic sensations. For the first time, experts from different disciplines have cooperated in examining various biological systems exhibiting this phenomenon.
