Opis

The ability to regulate cell volume in the face of osmotic challenge is one of the fundamental of cellular homeostatic mechanisms. This work describes the key aspects of cell volume control. It is organized around concepts and cellular/molecular processes rather than around mechanisms of volume regulation in specific cell types.
