A narrative review of research progress on the relationship between hypoxia-inducible factor-2α and wound angiogenesis.

Objective: This article aims to pay attention to the latest research on the expression, activation and function of hypoxia-inducible factor-2α (HIF-2α) under hypoxia and non-hypoxia conditions, and summarizes the current knowledge about the interaction between hypoxia-inducible factor-2 and angiogenesis, hoping to understand its actions in physiology and disease, with the goal of providing a new strategy for the diagnosis and treatment of wounds.

Background: Wound healing is a complex and continuous process, involving coagulation, inflammation, angiogenesis, new tissue formation and extracellular matrix remodeling. Of these, angiogenesis is an essential step.

A multi-technique approach for the quantification of Microcystis aeruginosa FACHB-905 biomass during high algae-laden periods.

A pronounced dominance of toxic cyanobacteria has been found in eutrophic water bodies, with Microcystis being a common species. Although toxic cyanobacteria are commonly described worldwide, few recent papers on the sensitive and effective quantification of cyanobacteria have been published. In this paper, a multi-technique approach was applied by the use of cell density counting, cell viability testing, chlorophyll a determination, microcystin monitoring and gene extraction techniques to quantitatively analyse the cyanobacterial biomass of Microcystis aeruginosa FACHB-905.
