Overview
The book is a review of how water crosses cellular membranes. It describes molecular mechanisms of water transport and combines these into a model for cellular water homeostasis. It bridges the gap between molecular biologists and cell physiologists. This approach is new; it is the first time the state of water in proteins is related directly to the transport of water in and out of cells.
Cellular water homeostasis/passive & active transport of water/from bacteria to metazoa/water transporting epithelia.

Zeuthen (The Panum Institute, U. of Copenhagen) bridges the gap between molecular biology and cellular physiology, selecting experiments with a view to crucial phenomena of cellular water transport. His results and reviews discuss aspects of cellular water homeostasis, passive and active transport of water, bacteria, metazoa, water transporting epithelia, and a pump-leak model for cellular water homeostasis. Includes diagrams. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)Book Details
