Theoretical Predictions of Lactate and Hydrogen Ion Distributions in Tumours

High levels of lactate and H+-ions play an important role in the invasive and metastatic cascade of some tumours. We develop a mathematical model of cellular pH regulation focusing on the activity of the Na+/H+ exchanger (NHE) and the lactate/H+ symporter (MCT) to investigate the spatial correlation...
