Cell death is an integral part of the functioning of the immune system. For T cells, potentially autoreactive or 'useless' cells are removed through apoptosis in response to signals (or lack of signals) from their T cell receptor complex. A myriad of proteins that can initiate or protect cells from
## Abstract Ehrlich cells subjected to anisoosmolar media show very rapid volume changes. In hypertonic media they shrink. In hypotonic media they swell but the rapid initial swelling is followed by a regulatory shrinkage lasting ca. 30 minutes. Cells suspended in media with identical ionic concen
## Abstract Apoptosis is an important mechanism enabling the selection of the non‐self‐reactive T cell repertoire and for maintaining homeostasis in the immune system after it has expanded to combat infections. Highly activated, proliferating T cells become susceptible to apoptosis driven by a numb
## Abstract Apoptosis is a physiological mechanism allowing for the removal of abundant or potentially harmful cells. The hallmarks of apoptosis include degradation of cellular DNA, exposure of phosphatidylserine at the outer leaflet of the cell membrane and cell shrinkage. Phosphatidylserine expos
## Abstract Cell volume is regulated by a delicate balance between ion distribution across the plasma membrane and the osmotic properties of intra‐ and extracellular components. Using a fluorescent calcein indicator, we analysed the effects of glycosaminoglycans on the cell volume of hyaluronan pro
