The recently presented theory of microvillar Ca(2+)signaling [Lange, K. (1999) J. Cell. Physiol.180, 19-35], combined with Manning's theory of "condensed counterions" in linear polyelectrolytes [Manning, G. S. (1969). J. Chem. Phys.51, 924-931] and the finding of cable-like ion conductance in actin

The actin cytoskeleton is an intracellular structure, which is involved in the onset and control of cell shape and function. In order for this relevant network to control its own and thus cell volume, specific interactions between the actin cytoskeleton and ion channel regulation controlling intrace
## Abstract A cell line from canine kidney (MDCK) was studied in hypotonic conditions to determine the transport mechanisms involved during regulatory volume decrease (RVD). It was found that RVD was related to a loss of K^+^, Cl^β^ and amino acids. Membrane potential measurements during RVD have s
## Abstract Cell volume is regulated by a delicate balance between ion distribution across the plasma membrane and the osmotic properties of intraβ and extracellular components. Using a fluorescent calcein indicator, we analysed the effects of glycosaminoglycans on the cell volume of hyaluronan pro
