Genes involved i the protection against oxygen starvation

Duke researchers identify 10 genes believed to protect oxygen-starved cancer cells
Cancer researchers at Duke University Medical Center have identified 10 genes believed to have significant roles in allowing cancerous tumors to thrive under oxygen-deficient conditions. The discovery is the first step in what could eventually lead to new treatments for some of the deadliest forms of cancer.
