The regulation of oxygen homeostasis is critical in physiology and disease pathogenesis. High Altitude environment or hypoxia (lack of oxygen) can lead to adverse health conditions such as HAPE despite initial adaptive physiological responses. Studying genetic, hematological and biochemical, and the physiological outcomes of hypoxia together could yield a comprehensive understanding and potentially uncover valuable biomarkers for predicting responses.

RSTS with mutations in CREBBP is known as RSTS-1. We have generated an induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line, IGIBi018-A from an Indian RSTS-patient using the episomal reprogramming method.

However, a sizable portion of infected people experience a rapid progression of hyper-inflammatory and hypoxic respiratory illness that necessitates an effective and safer remedy to combat COVID-19.
Methods: A total of 150 COVID-19-positive patients with no to mild symptoms, between the age groups 19-65 years were enrolled in this randomized, open-labeled three-armed clinical trial.
