Abstract
Hypoxia (insufficient O2) is a pivotal factor in cancer progression, triggering genetic, transcriptional, translational and epigenetic adaptations associated to therapy resistance, metastasis and patient mortality. In this review, we outline the microenvironmental origins and molecular mechanisms responsible for hypoxic cancer cell adaptations in situ and in vitro, whilst outlining current approaches to stratify, quantify and therapeutically target hypoxia in the context of precision oncology.
期刊介绍:
Seminars in Cancer Biology (YSCBI) is a specialized review journal that focuses on the field of molecular oncology. Its primary objective is to keep scientists up-to-date with the latest developments in this field.
The journal adopts a thematic approach, dedicating each issue to an important topic of interest to cancer biologists. These topics cover a range of research areas, including the underlying genetic and molecular causes of cellular transformation and cancer, as well as the molecular basis of potential therapies.
To ensure the highest quality and expertise, every issue is supervised by a guest editor or editors who are internationally recognized experts in the respective field. Each issue features approximately eight to twelve authoritative invited reviews that cover various aspects of the chosen subject area.
The ultimate goal of each issue of YSCBI is to offer a cohesive, easily comprehensible, and engaging overview of the selected topic. The journal strives to provide scientists with a coordinated and lively examination of the latest developments in the field of molecular oncology.
