The ability to control cell volume is pivotal for cell function. Cell volume perturbation elicits a
wide array of signaling events, leading to protective (eg, cytoskeletal rearrangement) and …

Despite marked developments in the field of cryopreservation of cells and tissues for
research and therapeutic applications, post-thaw cell death remains a significant drawback …

Human embryonic stem (hES) cells have enormous potential for clinical applications.
However, one major challenge is to achieve high cell recovery rate after cryopreservation …

Numerous studies have assembled a complex picture, in which extracellular stimuli and
intracellular signaling pathways modulate the chondrocyte phenotype. Because many …

H 2 O is one of the most essential molecules for cellular life. Cell volume, osmolality and
hydrostatic pressure are tightly controlled by multiple signaling cascades and they drive …

Abstract Throughout the Plio-Pleistocene, climate change has impacted tropical marine
ecosystems substantially, with even more severe impacts predicted in the Anthropocene …

Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels are unique cellular sensors responding to a
wide variety of extra‐and intracellular signals, including mechanical and osmotic stress. In …

Obese persons with metabolic syndrome often have associated with salt-sensitive
hypertension, microalbuminuria, and cardiac dysfunction, and the plasma aldosterone level …

Salinity fluctuations significantly impact the reproduction, growth, development, as well as
physiological and metabolic activities of fish. To explore the osmoregulation mechanism of …

Cellular responses induced by stress are essential for the survival of cells under adverse
conditions. These responses, resulting in cell adaptation to the stress, are accomplished by …
