Conditioning Media to Target Dissolved Oxygen Levels
Summary Hypoxia is defined as oxygen deficiency in cellular environments. Oxygen (O2) deficiency within in vivo environments is commonly linked to a wide range of co-morbidities, e.g., respiratory failure, Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection and other life threatening ailments (Reference Section; 2, 6). However, certain cell types thrive in low-O2 environments. Angiogenesis and tumor progression ...
