Figure 2 The oxygen-sensing mechanism for which this year's Nobel laureates won is of fundamental importance in physiology, for example, for our metabolism and immune system and for our ability to exercise at variable vigorous levels. Many pathological processes are also affected by this mechanism. Today, many researchers are focusing on developing new drugs that can inhibit or activate the oxygen sensing mechanism, with the aim of improving treatments for anemia, cancer and other diseases.
