Stromal uptake and transmission of acid is a pathway for venting cancer cell-generated acid

Proliferation and invasion of cancer cells require favorable pH, yet potentially toxic quantities of acid are produced metabolically. Membrane-bound transporters extrude acid from cancer cells, but little is known about the mechanisms that handle acid once it is released into the poorly-perfused ext...
