The Balance of Fluid and Osmotic Pressures across Active Biological Membranes with Application to the Corneal Endothelium. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The movement of fluid and solutes across biological membranes facilitates the transport of nutrients for living organisms and maintains the fluid and osmotic pressures in biological systems. Understanding the pressure balances across membranes is crucial

Transport of biologically active material in laser cutting
Lasers in Surgery and Medicine, 1988 AbstractThe transport of biologically active material during laser cutting with CO2 and Er lasers is demonstrated. This transport mechanism removes particles from the surface of gelatin, agar, and liver samples into the depth of the laser‐formed craters. The transport phenomenon is explained by a contraction and condensation of enclosed hot water vapor.

Quantifying biological carbon pump pathways with a data-constrained mechanistic model ensemble approach [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2022 The ability to constrain the mechanisms that transport organic carbon into the deep ocean is complicated by the multiple physical, chemical, and ecological processes that intersect to create, transform, and transport particles in the ocean. In this paper

Carbon sequestration by multiple biological pump pathways in a coastal upwelling biome
Nature Communications, 2023 Multiple processes transport carbon into the deep ocean as part of the biological carbon pump, leading to long-term carbon sequestration. However, our ability to predict future changes in these processes is hampered by the absence of studies that have ...

Transport, stability, and biological activity of resveratrol [PDF]
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2011 Numerous studies have reported interesting properties oftrans‐resveratrol, a phytoalexin, as a preventive agent of several important pathologies: vascular diseases, cancers, viral infections, and neurodegenerative processes. These beneficial effects of resveratrol have been supported by observations at the cellular and molecular levels in both cellular
