ROLE OF ENDOTHELIN-1 IN THE REGULATION OF THE SWELLING-ACTIVATED Cl- CURRENT IN ATRIAL MYOCYTES
Swelling-activated Cl- current (ICl,swell) is an outwardly rectifying Cl- current that influences cardiac electric activities and acts as a potential effector of mechanoelectrical feedback that antagonizes the effects of stretch-activated cation channels. Persistent activation of ICl,swell has been …

Imaging Chloride Homeostasis in Neurons
… and in glioblastoma primary cells, measuring osmotic swelling responses to various drugs treatment.

New Types of Morpho-Physiological Changes in Cells Exposed to Nanosecond Pulsed Electric Field
… cells undergo reshaping that is manifested in swelling and diffuse blebbing. Recently we identified two new distinct forms of reshaping, pseudopod-like blebbing and microvesiculation, which are present in cells exposed to long trains of nsPEF with high pulse repetition frequency (PRF). …

Bioresorbable Osmotic Pump for Long–term Contraception
… Here, we investigated a fully bioresorbable osmotic pump system that provides over 1.5 years of contraception. Osmotic pump systems are recognized for their capacity to provide near zero-order drug release kinetics coupled with immediate drug release cessation upon completion of osmotic …

Sphingosine-1-Phosphate and Fingolimod (FTY720) Regulate ICl,swell In HL-1 Cardiac Myocytes via Intracellular Binding And Mitochondrial ROS Production
<p>Swelling-activated Cl− current (ICl,swell) is an outwardly-rectifying current that plays an important role in cardiac electrical activity, cellular volume regulation, apoptosis, and acts as a potential effector of mechanoelectrical feedback. Persistent activation of ICl,swell has been observed …

Molecular Basis of Mechanosensitivity
… in physiological contexts. Results using hypo-osmotic swelling provided additional support that Paddle Chimaera and Kv2.1 are indeed mechanosensitive in cellular contexts. Given the close structural similarity between voltage gated potassium channels and other ion channel families, I extended …

Numerical Chromosome Abnormalities in Sperm From Oligoasthenoteratozoospermic Patients and Fertile Males
… data by others' suggest that sperm tail swelling patterns following hypo-osmotic swelling (HOST) can be predictive of fertilizing ability. To clarify the relationship between sperm tail swelling patterns, aneuploidy, and fertilizing ability, we developed a technique combining HOST and …

Factors influencing the strength development in pfa-lime systems
… are found to contribute to the expansion. One is osmotic swelling of the colloidal membrane and the second is the level of sulphate incorporated into the precipitating C-A-S- S-H gel. Excessive addition of gypsum to the system retards the reaction with lime and results in the formation of …

Melt Synthesis, Structural, Characterization and Scaling of Swelling 2:1-Layer Silicate Materials
… and refinement of single crystal structures of swelling 2:1-layer silicates were the main fundamental topics of the presented thesis. In particular, large scale syntheses of both lithium and sodium fluorohectorite were successfully achieved. Furthermore, the crystal structure of one-, and …

Characterizing and Influencing Intracellular Transport
… which was controlled with sucrose-induced osmotic swelling, had no effect on transport frequency; however, the speed of large lysosomes was slower than with small lysosomes. Next, we generalize our tracking system to include all vesicles, rather than only lysosomes. With these conditions, …
