| Research Abstract |
Oxygen is essential for life, however, oxygen sensor and the transmission system are still unknown. We hypothesized that oxygen is sensed on trachea epithelia and began to research on oxygen-sensing system of the mouse trachea epithelia. Our results indicated that taste bud-like structure in the trachea epithelia is oxygen sensor. Furthermore, it was indicated that ATP and ATP receptor play crucial roles on oxygen-sensing systems of the mouse trachea epithelia.
