A fundamental property of animal cells is the ability to regulate their own cell volume. Even
under hypotonic stress imposed by either decreased extracellular or increased intracellular …

Because persistent swelling causes cell damage and often results in cell death, volume
regulation is an important physiological function in both neuronal and non‐neuronal cells. Brain …

Parallel activation of Ca 2+ -dependent K + channels and volume-sensitive Cl − channels is
known to be responsible for KCl efflux during regulatory volume decrease (RVD) in human …

Two types of anion channels are directly activated by osmotic swelling and are involved in the
regulatory volume decrease (RVD) in most types of mammalian cells, and they include the …

A major membrane intrinsic protein (VM23) in vacuoles of radish (Raphanus) tap root was
investigated. The cDNAs for two isoforms of VM23, γ- and δ-VM23, encode polypeptides of …

Recently, multiphoton excitation fluorescence microscopy has been developed that offers
important advantages over confocal imaging, particularly for in vivo visualization of thick tissue …

Volume-sensitive outwardly rectifying (VSOR) Cl - channels are activated during osmotic
swelling and involved in the subsequent volume regulation in most animal cells. To test the …

Some phenol derivatives are known to block volume‐sensitive Cl − channels. However,
effects on the channel of the bisphenol phloretin, which is a known blocker of glucose uniport …

Activation of G q -protein-coupled receptors, including the α 1A -adrenoceptor (α 1A -AR),
causes a sustained Ca 2+ influx via receptor-operated Ca 2+ (ROC) channels, following the …
