New research published in Cancer Discovery suggests that manipulating the pH of pancreatic cancer cells can deter cell growth. The study was conducted by scientists at Sanford Burnham Prebys.

The inside of a living cell is a surprising patchwork of environments. For example, pH levels can vary dramatically in different organelles, despite them being just a couple hundred nanometers apart.

There are many differences that help us distinguish healthy cells from cancerous cells—from shape to growth to signaling. Another way is by their pH. The pH in a cancerous cell is not the same as the ...

Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists say they have found new evidence in lab-grown mouse brain cells, called astrocytes, that one root of Alzheimer's disease may be a simple imbalance in ...

TAMPA, Fla. - A new study focusing on the environment inside cancer cells may lead to new targeted treatment strategies. Moffitt Cancer Center researchers, in collaboration with colleagues from the ...

In a first for the condensate field, researchers have figured out how nucleolar sub-structures are assembled. This organization gives rise to unique pH profiles within nucleoli, which they measured ...

For people with mutations in progranulin that lead to frontotemporal dementia, the problem is one of production—they have one good progranulin gene, but it cannot make enough of the protein. In the ...

Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists say they have found new evidence in lab-grown mouse brain cells, called astrocytes, that one root of Alzheimer’s disease may be a simple imbalance in acid-alkaline—or ...
