John Davenport http://sageke.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/full/2004/38/nf87Abstract: Acid burns brains that suffer strokes, and a new study suggests why. The work identifies a channel protein that unleashes a dangerous calcium torrent when pH drops. Drugs that cinch up the channel might help save the brains of stroke patients. Citation: R. J.
