Hypoxia and the transcriptome of human monocyte-enriched peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Homo sapiens

Monocytes, a type of mononuclear white blood cells, leave the circulation and enter into tissues in response to tissue damage or infection. These cells can encounter a hypoxic environment in the tissue that they extravasate to. The goal of this study was to identify changes in the transcriptome of such cells following exposure to hypoxia.
