Proton pumps in the membrane surrounding plant and yeast cells maintain the intracellular pH. The resulting membrane potential drives the uptake of other ions and nutrients. Hence, the proper function ...

A team of researchers led by Dr. Kim V. Narry, director of the Center for RNA Research at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS), has uncovered a key cellular mechanism that affects the function of ...

Proton pump inhibitors have some mild, treatable side effects. Other reported side effects, such as heart attacks, kidney disease, and dementia are sensationalist and based on weak evidence. Acid ...

Proton pumps are specialized proteins that reside in the envelope that surrounds a cell, the cell membrane, and the pumps can transport protons across that membrane in one direction. The ...

The risk for dementia before age 90 years was significantly higher among people with a history of proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use and was highest among those diagnosed before age 70 years regardless ...
