Hypoxia-Inducible Factors, Stem Cells, and Cancer
Open accessAbstract
Regions of severe oxygen deprivation (hypoxia) arise in tumors due to rapid cell division and aberrant blood vessel formation. The hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) mediate transcriptional responses to localized hypoxia in normal tissues and in cancers and can promote tumor progression by altering cellular metabolism and stimulating angiogenesis. Recently, HIFs have been shown to activate specific signaling pathways such as Notch and the expression of transcription factors such as Oct4 that control stem cell self renewal and multipotency. As many cancers are thought to develop from a small number of transformed, self-renewing, and multipotent "cancer stem cells," these results suggest new roles for HIFs in tumor progression.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
