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

Cytostatic effect of polyethylene-glycol on human colonic adenocarcinoma cells [PDF]
, 2001 Polyethylene glycol (PEG 8000) is a potent cancer chemopreventive agent. This osmotic laxative polymer markedly suppresses colon cancer in rats. To explain the mechanism, we have tested the in vitro effect of PEG on four human cell lines.

From colloidal dispersions to colloidal pastesthrough solid–liquid separation processes [PDF]
, 2005 Solid–liquid separation is an operation that starts with a dispersion of solid particles in a liquid and removes some of the liquid from the particles, producing a concentrated solid paste and a clean liquid phase.

Evidence of Many-Body Interactions in the Virial Coefficients of Polyelectrolyte Gels
Gels, 2022 Simulation studies of aqueous polymer solutions, and heuristic arguments by De Gennes for aqueous polyethylene oxide polymer solutions, have suggested that many-body interactions can give rise to the ‘anomalous’ situation in which the second osmotic ...
