Deskripsi

Small molecule probes used to trigger hypoxic response by activating hypoxia inducible factors (HIFs) often lack specificity. Here the authors report a potent small molecule inhibitor that induces hypoxic response by blocking VHL:HIF interactions, providing a selective route to probe hypoxic signalling.
