Synopsis

Contributors from Germany, Japan, the US, Austria, Belgium, Mexico, the UK, and the Netherlands discuss volume sensor and volume regulation, cellular signaling associated with volume regulation, ion channel and transporter involved in volume regulation, and organic osmolyte transporter and water channel involved in volume regulation. Representative topics include cell volume in the regulation of metabolism, cell proliferation, and apoptotic cell death; cause and roles of mechanical stress in mammary gland; activation of cellular signaling pathways by hypotonicity; the role of chloride channels; the Na+/H+ exchanger and volume regulation; urinary concentrating defect and organic osmolytes; and water movement during cell volume regulation.
