TLDR
The equations derived here have been applied to various permeability measurements found in the literature, such as the penetration of heavy water into animal cells, permeability of blood vessels, threshold concentration of plasmolysis and relaxation experiments with artificial membranes.About:

Transcellular transport of isosmotic volumes by the rabbit gall-bladder in vitro.
Ole Frederiksen,Paul P. Leyssac +1 more
TL;DR: Fluid transport rate and oxygen consumption were studied in rabbit gall‐bladder preparations in vitro exposed on both sides to identical Ringer solutions with NaCl concentrations (and osmolarities) varying from 70 to 140 m‐equiv Na+/l.

Effects of External and Internal Hyperthermia on LDL Transport and Accumulation Within an Arterial Wall in the Presence of a Stenosis.
Marcello Iasiello,Marcello Iasiello,Kambiz Vafai,Assunta Andreozzi,Nicola Bianco,Fatemeh Tavakkoli +5 more
TL;DR: The effects of external and internal hyperthermia as well as the load level and the axial location of the plaque formation on LDL transport and accumulation for a stenosed artery are established in this work.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of histamine on equivalent pore radius in capillaries of isolated dog hindlimb.
TL;DR: The conclusion is supported that histamine (20–60 μg/min per kg limb weight) when administered intraarterially does not affect capillary-membrane porosity and the increase in fluid movement was not persistent in this preparation and Lp reverted to control value 10–20 min after beginning histamine infusion.

Osmosis, from molecular insights to large-scale applications
Sophie Marbach,Lydéric Bocquet +1 more
TL;DR: Osmosis is a universal phenomenon occurring in a broad variety of processes and fields as discussed by the authors, and it is the archetype of entropic forces, both trivial in its fundamental expression - the van 't Hoff perfect gas law - and highly subtle in its physical roots.

The science of cryobiology.
Steven F. Mullen,John K. Critser +1 more
TL;DR: The current chapter will attempt to provide a broad overview of cryobiology, and refer to the reproductive biology literature when appropriate.

Filtration, diffusion and molecular sieving through peripheral capillary membranes; a contribution to the pore theory of capillary permeability.
TL;DR: Theoretical and experimental studies on the sieving of molecules by ultrafiltration through porous membranes indicate that an effective pore diameter of at least IOO A would be required to explain permeability of this magnitude.
Journal ArticleDOI
Passage of Molecules Through Capillary Walls
TL;DR: A wealth of evidence supports the view that the exchange of materials through the walls of living capillaries takes place by physical processes which involve no expenditure of energy on the part of the capillary endothelial cells themselves.
