Tumor acidosis: Fusing mitochondrial dynamics and lipid metabolism
Cancer cells experience multiple stresses within tumors, stemming from elevated metabolic activity, including nutrient shortage, waste buildup, hypoxia, and acidosis. According to Groessl et al., acid...

Acidosis Forces Fatty Acid Uptake and Metabolism in Cancer Cells Regardless of Genotype
This study demonstrates that biological acidosis, commonly observed in tumors and ischemic conditions, actively promotes the protonation of fatty acids, thereby facilitating the uptake of their neutr...
