A nanoscale calculation is performed for water permeation through the cell membrane in a human body, which is 7鈥 8 nm thick and contains densely distributed nanopores with the radii ranging between 0.2 and 0.5?nm. The pressure drop and the critical power loss on a single nanopore for ...
controlling the deposition and surface diffusion of water molecules is critical for precise manufacturing15,16; in biology, the mechanisms regulating the transport of single water molecules through cell membrane channels (aquaporins) and the multi-scale water compartmentalization in tissues are still elusiv...

The role of plasma membrane intrinsic protein aquaporins in water transport through roots: Diurnal and drought stress responses reveal different strategies between isohydric and anisohydric cultivars of grapevine. Plant Physiol. 2009, 149, 445–460. [Google Scholar] [PubMed] [Green Version] Gau...
Water moving through plants is considered meta-stable because at a certain point the water column breaks when tension becomes excessive — a phenomenon referred to as cavitation. After cavitation occurs, a gas bubble (i.e., embolism) can form and fill the conduit, effectively blocking wat...
Cell membrane stability and leaf surface wax content increased with the degrees of stress. Tolerance to drought evaluated as increase in CMS under water deficit conditions was well differentiated between cultivars and was well correlated with a reduction in relative growth rate under stress. A ...
urge to excel and the vision forward are the utmost focal points of the future. In developing countries,groundwater contaminationis a vexing issue. This has tremendous effect on the fate and result of the future of cleandrinking waterprovision. World’s water crisis is slowly moving positively....
It is important to note however that the regulatory community is moving from in vivo-based bioassays to in vitro-based bioassays (Barton-Maclaren et al. this issue), and as such, the in vivo mammalian-based tests will not be further described here. For more information on mammalian testing,...
Since the permeability of DRAQ7 with a molecular weight of about 400 Da allows smaller water molecules to pass through the cell membrane in and out of the cell, the increase in the bulk water content in the cell may be related to increased membrane permeability. Aiming to evaluate this ...
