Effects of salinity stress, ammonia exposure and feeding on excretory nitrogen metabolism in the marble goby, oxyeleotris marmorata
… O. marmorata exhibited hyperosmotic hyperionic regulation in freshwater, but undergo hypoosmotic hypoionic regulation during seawater exposure. Short-term seawater exposure resulted in cell volume regulation partially achieved by using FAAs as osmolytes. Long-term seawater exposure resulted in …

K(ATP) channel Kir62 subunit distribution differs between muscles and between fiber types in skeletal muscle
… the channel to couple the metabolic state of a cell to its membrane excitability, is important in several tissues for the maintenance of glucose homeostasis and cytoprotection. In skeletal muscle specifically, the channel has been shown to be involved in cell volume regulation, modulation of …

Glutamate Receptor-Mediated Taurine Release From The Hippocampus During Oxidative Stress
… cytotoxic brain edema in vitro. Swollen brain cells activate volume regulatory mechanisms including a significant efflux of the endogenous sulfonic amino acid taurine via volume-regulated anion channels (VRACs). Studies in brain slice preparations also suggest that the excitatory amino acid …

Excretory nitrogen metabolism in the Chinese soft-shelled turtle, pelodiscus sinensis
… and urea were accumulated in various tissues for cell volume regulation with accumulations facilitated by increases in proteolysis and catabolism of certain amino acids respectively. Consequently, the rate of urea synthesis increased 1.4-fold. During 6 days of emersion, turtles maintain levels of …

Life Under Tension: Computational Studies of Proteins Involved in Mechanotransduction
… our muscles and bones to sound transduction and cell volume regulation, handling of forces is essential to life. Investigation of the microscopic machinery behind force generation and transduction in the cell has only become possible with recent advances in x-ray crystallography, nuclear magnetic …

Mechanisms of ion channel activation in primary cultured and clonal cell lines
… C1 permeability of ROS 17/2.8 osteoblast-like cells was investigated using the patch-clamp technique. Hypotonic shock produced cell swelling that was accompanied by large amplitude, outwardly rectifying, currents that were active across the entire physiological range of membrane potentials (-80 …

Characterizing Changes in the Brain During Hydrocephalic Development and Exploring Potential Treatment Strategies
… without brain surgery. Choroid plexus epithelial cells (CPEC) are responsible for production of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Ependymal cells line the ventricles and play roles in CSF maintenance and waste clearance. Astrocytes perform various functions, one being blood-brain barrier (BBB) …
