In particular, Ratcliffe and Kaelin, working independently, discovered that a chemical modification known as prolyl hydroxylation on a molecule called hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) dictates how cells respond to changes in oxygen levels. When…

Semenza observed that HIF levels increase significantly under hypoxia, whereas HIF expression is decreased under normal oxygen conditions. He subsequently investigated the role of HIF in cancer, where elevated HIF expression enables tumour cells to…
