Core Tip The hypoxia-inducible factor-1α/β-catenin axis functions as a conserved regulatory hub that enhances stem cell survival and angiogenic capacity under hypoxic conditions. This unidirectional signaling pathway, with hypoxia-inducible factor-1α as the upstream driver, coordinates anti-apoptotic and pro-angiogenic responses in stem cells, offering a promising target for improving cell-based therapies in ischemic diseases such as myocardial infarction.
