Abstract: Cells present ancestral conserved mechanisms to maintain their volume in response to alterations in environmental osmolarity. Changes in environmental osmolarities are therefore conserved as primitive stress signals. Innate immune cells, such as macrophages, express receptors… read more here.

Abstract: Hypothermic (cold) preservation is a limiting factor for successful cell and tissue transplantation where cell swelling (edema) usually develops, impairing cell function. University of Wisconsin (UW) solution, a standard cold preservation solution, contains effective components… read more here.
