RNA Sequencing Reveals a Role of TonEBP Transcription Factor in Regulation of Pro-inflammatory Genes in Response to Hyperosmolarity in Healthy Nucleus Pulposus Cells: A HOMEOSTATIC RESPONSE? [PDF]
, 2016 Transcription factor tonicity-responsive enhancer-binding protein (TonEBP/NFAT5) is critical for osmo-adaptation and extracellular matrix homeostasis of nucleus pulposus (NP) cells in their hypertonic tissue niche.

Salt tolerance at single cell level in giant-celled Characeae
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015 Characean plants provide an excellent experimental system for electrophysiology and physiology due to: (i) very large cell size, (ii) position on phylogenetic tree near the origin of land plants and (iii) continuous spectrum from very salt sensitive to ...

Osmosis, osmometry, and osmoregulation [PDF]
Postgraduate Medical Journal, 1999 Summary The maintenance of adequate body fluid volume and the correct distribution of this fluid between the body compartments is a critical part of homeostasis. The process of osmosis plays an important role in movement of fluid within the body and the use of osmometry is an important part of the management of many patients. In addition

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Fishes experience thermal stress in their natural environment that can be caused by natural or anthropogenic factors and can directly affect their physiology. In this study, we developed a multispecies OpenArray™ qPCR (quantitative polymerase chain reaction) ‘chip’ to measure the effects of acute thermal stress on the mRNA response of ...

Fish Poxviruses on the Rise: Prospects for Aquatic Health
Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Fish poxviruses are increasingly recognised as emerging pathogens of fish and should be considered in cases of unexplained gill or skin pathology. Carp edema virus (CEV), the causative agent of koi sleepy disease in common carp and koi (Cyprinus carpio), represents the first known example.

An Elite Haplotype of Nitrogen‐Use‐Efficiency Gene LHT5 Enhances Salt Tolerance in Rice
Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Amino acids serve as fundamental building blocks and signalling molecules in plants, orchestrating stress adaptation mechanisms against diverse biotic and abiotic environmental challenges. However, the mechanism by which plants alter their nutrient metabolism processes to coordinate nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) and salt tolerance remains ...

Environmentally induced physiological responses that determine fish survival and distribution: a review [PDF]
, 2005 Limitation to an aqueous habitat is the most fundamental physiological constraint imposed upon fish, phrases such as 'like a fish of water', convey our acceptance of the general unsuitability of fish for terrestrial existence.
