Abstract: Cell sensing and adapting to changing oxygen concentration is one of life’s most essential adaptive processes. The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2019 was awarded jointly to the three scientists who dedicated to studying cell sensing and adapting to changing oxygen availability because of their great contributions in revealing the cellular oxygen sensing pathway. This paper
elaborates the research results and research progress of the three scientists in the field of cell oxygen sensing, and looks forward to the significance and far-reaching impact of their research results on fighting various diseases.
