Elucidation of how cancer cells avoid acidosis through comparative transcriptomic data analysis.

The rapid growth of cancer cells fueled by glycolysis produces large amounts of protons in cancer cells, which tri mechanisms to transport them out, hence leading to increased acidity in their extracellular environments. It has been well established that the increased acidity will induce cell death...
