Abstract excerpt
The high glycolytic activity of cancer cells leads to lactic acidosis (LA) in the tumor microenvironment. LA is not merely a consequence of metabolic activities but also has functional roles in metabolic reprogramming and cancer progression. Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) cells exhibit a high dependency on glycolysis for survival and growth, but the specific effects of LA on cellular characteristics remain unknown....
