DOI: 10.1002/hbm.24696
Abstract: The study of individuals at high‐altitude (HA) exposure provides an important opportunity for unraveling physiological and psychological mechanism of brain underlying hypoxia condition. However, this has rarely been assessed longitudinally. We aim to explore the… read more here.

Bone Deterioration in Response to Chronic High‐Altitude Hypoxia Is Attenuated by a Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Via the Primary Cilium/HIF‐1α Axis
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "Journal of Bone and Mineral Research"
DOI: 10.1002/jbmr.4772
Abstract: Chronic high‐altitude hypoxia induces irreversible abnormalities in various organisms. Emerging evidence indicates that hypobaric hypoxia markedly suppresses bone mass and bone strength. However, few effective means have been identified to prevent such bone deficits. Here,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ppul.24079
Abstract: Some studies, mainly in Europe, have shown a low level of sensitization to house dust mite (HDM) allergens at high altitude (HA). Differently, some others in tropical countries have shown a higher level. The aim… read more here.
