Distinct mechanisms underlying tolerance to intermittent and constant hypoxia in Drosophila melanogaster.

Constant hypoxia (CH) and intermittent hypoxia (IH) occur during several pathological conditions such as asthma and obstructive sleep apnea. Our research is focused on understanding the molecular mechanisms that lead to injury or adaptation to hypoxic stress using Drosophila as a model system. Our c...
