Chairman's summary: mechanisms of oxygen homeostasis, circa 1999.
Oxygen sensing is a fundamental physiologic requirement of all living organisms and all cells within the human body. This paper presents a brief summary of recent investigations into the molecular mechanisms underlying oxygen sensing and adaptive responses to hypoxia, with particular reference to other papers in this volume.
