Acid - base balance in immune system function

Cellular pH influences tumor growth PREMIUM CONTENT

This newsletter continues with topics of biophysics, and reminiscences of my early lab life researching pH cytosolic changes induced in molluscan neurons by voltage dependent calcium currents. [We used indicator dyes and microelectrodes. I did all this as a premed; by the time I hit med school I could easily calculate dialysis solutions in my head…]. These days, intracellular pH imaging using dyes to study acid - base physiology are potent research areas, especially those related to immunology and cancer.
