Environmental control of mammary carcinoma cell expansion by acidification and spheroid formation in vitro
Abstract Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death among women worldwide. Like other cancers, mammary carcinoma progression involves acidification of the tumor microenvironment, which is an important factor for cancer detection and treatment strategies. However, the effects of acidity on ma...
