Vall d’Hebron Institute of Oncology (VHIO) shared a post on X:
“Published today at Cancer Discovery an international study led by ToledoLab VHIO at VHIO describes that oxygen-starved cancer cells develop similar survival strategies as the Sherpa population of the Himalayan region.”
Bruna Calsina, Adjunct professor at Autonomous University of Barcelona, reshared the post on X, adding:
“Big paper out today in Cancer Discovery!
As ToledoLab VHIO & Carlota say: from tumors to mountains-genetic convergence in low O₂ adaptation & cancer evolution reveals insights into cancer & potential targets.
Grateful to be part of this story!”
Convergent Genetic Adaptation in Human Tumors Developed Under Systemic Hypoxia and in Populations Living at High Altitudes.
