Globins are haem‐proteins that bind O2 and thus play an important role in the animal's
respiration and oxidative energy production. However, globins may also have other …

Many vertebrates are challenged by either chronic or acute episodes of low oxygen
availability in their natural environments. Brain function is especially vulnerable to the effects …

Increased stiffness of reactive glial cells may impede neurite growth and contribute to the
poor regenerative capabilities of the mammalian central nervous system. We induced …

In 2000, the third member of the globin family was discovered in human and mouse brain
and named neuroglobin (Ngb). Ngb is a monomeric 3/3 globin structurally similar to …

The subterranean mole rat Spalax is an excellent model for studying adaptation of a
mammal toward chronic environmental hypoxia. Neuroglobin (Ngb) and cytoglobin (Cygb) …

Marine mammals exhibit multi-level adaptations, from cellular biochemistry to behavior, that
maximize aerobic dive duration. A dive response during aerobic dives enables the efficient …

Oxidative stress, resulting from accumulation of reactive oxygen species, plays a critical role
in astroglial cell death occurring in diverse neuropathological conditions. Numerous studies …

Neuroglobin (Ngb), so named after its initial discovery in brain neurones, has received great
attention as a result of its neuroprotective effects both in vitro and in vivo. Recently, we …

Breath-hold diving involves highly integrative physiology and extreme responses to both
exercise and asphyxia during progressive elevations in hydrostatic pressure. With …

Aim: The unexpected identification of myoglobin (MB) in breast cancer prompted us to
evaluate the clinico‐pathological value of MB, haemoglobin (HB) and cytoglobin (CYGB) in …
