There's Life After Radiation for Brain Cells. Johns Hopkins researchers suggest neural stem cells may regenerate after anti-cancer treatment. Release Date: August 12, 2013. Scientists have long believed that healthy brain cells, once damaged by radiation designed to kill brain tumors, cannot regenerate.
The key player in acid secretion is a H+/K+ ATPase or proton pump located in the cannalicular membrane. 1  This ATPase is magnesium-dependent, and not inhibitable by ouabain. The current model for explaining acid secretion is as follows: 2  Hydrogen ions are generated within the parietal cell from dissociation of water.
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) reduce the production of acid by blocking the enzyme in the wall of the stomach that produces acid. Acid is necessary for the formation of most ulcers in the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum, and the reduction of acid with PPIs prevents ulcers and allows any ulcers that exist in the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum to heal.
