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) are a group of drugs whose main action is a pronounced and long-lasting reduction of gastric acid production. Within the class of medications, there is no clear evidence that one agent works better than another. They are the most potent inhibitors of acid secretion available.
