HIF and c-Myc: sibling rivals for control of cancer cell metabolism and proliferation

JD Gordan, CB Thompson, MC Simon - Cancer cell, 2007 - cell.com
O 2 deprivation (hypoxia) and cellular proliferation engage opposite cellular pathways, yet
often coexist during tumor growth. The ability of cells to grow during hypoxia results in part …
