Abstract: Extreme environments are powerful drivers of physiological adaptation. Naked mole‐rats offer an informative example of this relationship as they putatively encounter intermittent hypoxia and hypercapnia in their subterranean habitat. This has presumably driven the evolution… read more here.

Abstract: This study investigates whether a functional single nucleotide polymorphism of HMOX2 (heme oxygenase-2) (rs4786504 T>C) is involved in individual chemosensitivity to acute hypoxia, as assessed by ventilatory responses, in European individuals. These responses were obtained… read more here.
