The Directory of Research and Researchers at Brown: Leon Goldstein

Investigation is aimed at elucidating the mechanisms that cells employ in regulating their volume under normal conditions and during osmotic stress. We are examining this question in fish, since many representatives of this group normally encounter wide variations in osmolarity of the external environment and can tolerate marked perturbations in the osmotic pressure of their extracellular fluid.
