Influence of osmolarity and hydration on the tear resistance of the human amniotic membrane KU Leuven
The amnion is considered to be the load-bearing part of the fetal membranes. We investigated the influence of osmolarity of the testing medium and hydration on its fracture toughness. Mode I fracture tests revealed that physiological variations in the bath osmolarity do not influence the tear resistance of amnion, while larger changes, i.e. from physiological saline solution to distilled water, lead to a significant reduction of the fracture ...
On the origin of bladder sensing: Tr(i)ps in urology KU Leuven
The mammalian TRP family consists of 28 channels that can be subdivided into 6 different classes: TRPV (vanilloid), TRPC (canonical), TRPM (Melastatin), TRPP (Polycystin), TRPML (Mucolipin), and TRPA (Ankyrin). TRP channels are activated by a diversity of physical (voltage, heat, cold, mechanical stress) or chemical (pH, osmolality) stimuli and by binding of specific ligands, enabling them to act as multifunctional sensors at the cellular level. ...
