In order to survive, organisms must control the pressure inside them, from the single-cell level to tissues and organs. Measuring these pressures in living cells and tissues in physiological ...

PREVIOUS studies have indicated that in patients with cirrhosis the presence or absence of ascites can be explained by a consideration of hydrostatic and osmotic forces, and a similar analysis can be ...
