To survive, organisms must control the pressure inside them, from the single-cell level to tissues and organs. Measuring these pressures in living cells and tissues in physiological conditions is a ...

Liquid-liquid phase separation can occur when drops or layers of one liquid, like oil, form alongside another liquid, like water. It has been widely observed within cells, where proteins can condense ...

Under severe environmental stresses such as high temperature, dryness and high salination, cells survive by responding appropriately through elaborate mechanisms, according to new cell biology ...

Hyperosmotic stimulation is a common strategy to boost cell culture productivity for batch and fed-batch cell cultures used in biomanufacturing. Continuous exposure to osmotic pressure, however, risks ...

Scientific American is part of Springer Nature, which owns or has commercial relations with thousands of scientific publications (many of them can be found at www ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract A new method for the determination of osmotic pressure in appropriate plant tissues is described. This method is based on the observation that ...

A method is described for estimating volume in higher-plant cells from their behaviour under pressure probe. The method utilises differences between initial and final equilibrium turgor pressures ...
