Published 16 November 2020 Emma Hammarlund and Sofie Mohlin at TCR, together with two colleagues from Oxford University, have reviewed how oxygen-sensing mechanisms across eukaryotic kingdoms are alike. From a functional perspective, these systems are active at low oxygen and degraded at high, although their scope varies.    2020-11-16_hammarlund_et_al_2020.pdf .
