Low pH outside cells rewires transport network and displaces Golgi apparatus, study finds
A new study led by the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) describes the mechano-chemical mechanism by which the acidity of the cellular environment destabilizes microtubules, the "avenues" that organize internal cellular traffic. This finding is key to understanding pathologies such as cancer, diabetes, or certain infectious processes, where extracellular acidosis is a distinctive feature in tissues.
