12. Expression and hormonal regulation of aquaporins in the human uterus
Abstract : BACKGROUND: Aquaporins (AQPs) are water channels present in the cell wall, allowing water – and occasionally other molecules – to pass the cell membrane. So far 13 AQPs have been found in humans. Their function is to maintain the cell internal milieu by regulating water and ion equilibrium. READ MORE

13. The response to mechanical distension of the non-pregnant human uterus in vivo
Abstract : The ability of the uterus to contract in response to mechanical distension has been utilized in the development of a method, hysterometry, for the quantification of hormonal and pharmacological effects on the human myometrium in vivo. The method has been built up with due consideration for laws from mechanics of materials and hydrodynamics. READ MORE
