Infosalus, Medicina TV, Bolsamania, Bioengineer and Medi Magazine, among other national and international media, have published an article about the recent study led by the Structural Bioinformatics and Network Biology Lab. This research demonstrates that cancer cells proliferate less and in a less robust manner when their internal pH is lowered, that is to say it becomes more acidic.
