A recent study conducted by researchers at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) has shed light on the effects of acidity on cellular structures.
The research focuses on the mechano-chemical mechanisms that lead to the destabilization of microtubules, which are essential for organizing internal cellular transport.
Findings suggest that low pH environments may significantly disrupt the transport network, potentially impacting various cellular functions.
