Mechanisms of Hypoxia-Induced Neurovascular Remodeling in PlGF Knockout Mice
Due to the high metabolic demand and low capacity for energy storage of the brain, neurons are vitally reliant on a constant oxygen supply. Under chronic mild hypoxic conditions (10% oxygen), angiogenesis is induced in the brain in an attempt to restore tissue oxygen tension to normal levels. In b...
