Abstract excerpt
Sodium (Na+) concentration in solid tumours of different origin is highly dysregulated, and this corresponds to the aberrant expression of Na+ transporters. In particular, the α subunits of voltage gated Na+ channels (VGSCs) raise intracellular Na+ concentration ([Na+]i) in malignant cells, which influences the progression of solid tumours, predominantly driving cancer cells towards a more aggressive and...
