Funded Activity Summary

Heme oxygenase-1 is a protein that recycles our body's iron which itself is essential for life because it is needed for the sensing, transport and use of oxygen we breath. The current project investigates a novel interplay between heme oxygenase-1 and our body’s major response to tissue oxygen becoming limited. By doing so, our project may provide the basis for novel treatments of conditions where arteries are obstructed, such as those that lead to heart attack and amputation.
