International Review of Cytology presents current advances and comprehensive
reviews in cell biology--both plant and animal. Authored by some of the foremost
scientists in the field, each volume provides up-to-date information and
directions for future research.
This volume looks at water movements from a wide range of levels. It examines
how water interacts with the major components of the cell, including proteins
and lipids. It discusses how water moves across cell membranes by diffusion, how
