Cell Volume regulation in eel intestine

In this review the authors summarize the present insight about cell volume regulation in the European eel (Anguilla anguilla), highlighting findings on the intestinal epithelium, which serves as one of the main osmoregulatory organs in the fish. This tissue is a useful model system for functional st...

Description
Summary:In this review the authors summarize the present insight about cell volume regulation in the European eel (Anguilla anguilla), highlighting findings on the intestinal epithelium, which serves as one of the main osmoregulatory organs in the fish. This tissue is a useful model system for functional studies of epithelia that perform near-isosmotic fluid absorption and has specifically been used as a physiological model for the study of cell volume regulation in epithelia
