Discover reasons for avoiding low oxygen levels in cell cultures.

The first evidence of biologically produced elemental carbon inspires more questions than answers.  

Researchers show that both mice and pigs are capable of oxygenating their blood via the colon—a capacity that, if shared by humans, could be leveraged in the clinic to minimize the need for mechanical ventilation.

Several studies have indicated that SARS-CoV-2 might be spread through air, but not all experts are convinced.

The symptoms suggest SARS-CoV-2 might infect neurons, raising questions about whether there could be effects on the brain that play a role in patients’ deaths, but the data are preliminary.

An expert on carbohydrate transport, Kornberg contributed to the discovery of several metabolic cycles in microorganisms during his seven-decade career.

The parasitic plant manages to go without a component of mitochondria found in all other multicellular life forms.

Alterations to a protein involved in breathing may help explain some cases of sudden infant death syndrome, a study finds.

These ocean-dwelling arthropods move oxygen through a digestive system in their legs.

By making oxygen more available, a benign bacterium can provide better growth conditions for a virulent one, according to a study.

A multitasking plasma membrane protein coordinates cell division and energy metabolism in healthy—and perhaps also cancerous—Drosophila cells.

Singers in a choir unconsciously coordinate their breathing patterns, which leads to synchronized heart rates, especially during slow chanting.
