Hypoxia: HIF1 in opposition

Nicola McCarthy

Constitutive expression of the hypoxia inducible factor 1 (HIF1) complex is most often associated with tumour progression and poor clinical outcome. However, expression of HIF1 is also evident during tumour suppression, and new results indicate that this might be the result of HIF1 regulation of the microRNA gene mir-210.
