A breathtaking model for the cellular detection of hypoxia

A breathtaking model for the cellular detection of hypoxia

In a recent paper, Peng and colleagues (Peng et al. 2023) use a variety of new approaches, and fresh ideas, to create a molecular model for how the cells of the carotid body sense the oxygen levels in our blood and use this to control our breathing. Surprisingly, key...
