Communications Chemistry, 2023 During the long-term storage of cells, it is necessary to inhibit ice crystal formation by adding cryoprotectants. Non-cell-permeable cryoprotectants have high osmotic pressure which dehydrates cells, indirectly suppressing intracellular ice crystal ...

Metabolomics demonstrates divergent responses of two Eucalyptus species to water stress [PDF]
, 2011 Past studies of water stress in Eucalyptus spp. generally highlighted the role of fewer than five “important” metabolites, whereas recent metabolomic studies on other genera have shown tens of compounds are affected.

Speed effects in gliding motility assays due to surface passivation, water isotope, and osmotic stress. [PDF]
, 2010 The molecular motor kinesin-1, an ATPase, and the substrate it walks along, microtubules, are vital components of eukaryotic cells. Kinesin converts chemical energy to linear motion as its two motor domains step along microtubules in a process similar to

Measuring very negative water potentials with polymer tensiometers: principles, performance and applications [PDF]
, 2009 In recent years, a polymer tensiometer (POT) was developed and tested to directly measure matric potentials in dry soils. By extending the measurement range to wilting point (a 20-fold increase compared to conventional, water-filled tensiometers), a ...

Microbial Biotechnology, 2021 Summary Although mechanisms involved in response of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to osmotic challenge are well described for low and sudden stresses, little is known about how cells respond to a gradual increase of the osmotic pressure (reduced water ...

Membrane Permeability Threshold for Osmotic Power Plant Efficiency
Journal of Contemporary Urban Affairs, 2017 In a context of ever-growing electricity consumption and need for less polluting sources of energy, salinity gradient power (SGP) based on osmosis is a promising technology. Salinity difference between two solutions separated by a semi-permeable membrane

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
