Systems analysis of intracellular pH vulnerabilities for cancer therapy

Tumors often exhibit a pH gradient, with an acidic extracellular space and alkaline cytoplasm. Here the authors develop a computational model to show how alkaline pHi supports changes inherent to cancer cell metabolism and acidification disables these adaptations, and demonstrate the effect of acidi...

Sumario:Tumors often exhibit a pH gradient, with an acidic extracellular space and alkaline cytoplasm. Here the authors develop a computational model to show how alkaline pHi supports changes inherent to cancer cell metabolism and acidification disables these adaptations, and demonstrate the effect of acidic pHi on breast cancer cell survival.
