Low-oxygen Environment

Scientists have managed to find signs of microbial life in one of the harshest spots on Earth, giving further hope that life may also be found in some of the unknown environments of space. In the depths of the Canadian Arctic, scientists managed to identify signs of life in the low-oxygen, super-salty waters of the Lost Hammer Spring.

New York: Normal, healthy heart muscle is well-supplied with oxygen-rich blood, but a new study says that very low oxygen levels – about the concentration at the top of Mt Everest – may help reverse heart disease. “This work shows that hypoxia (very low oxygen level) equivalent to the summit of Mt. Everest can actually reverse heart disease,...
