M04.03.011 Starling Equation The Starling Equation describes the forces that govern fluid movement across capillary membranes, balancing hydrostatic and oncotic pressures to regulate tissue fluid exchange.

The #StarlingEquation explains fluid movement across capillaries, balancing #HydrostaticPressure & #OncoticPressure to regulate tissue #FluidExchange. Key for #Physiology, #MedicalEducation, and understanding #Edema formation.

Combined forces of hydrostatic pressure and actin polymerization drive endothelial tip cell migration and sprouting angiogenesis Investigation of Aquaporin water channels unveils water inflow and build-up of hydrostatic pressure in endothelial tip cells as a novel mechanism of endothelial cell migration and blood vessel formati...

Happy to announce that the final version of our paper on #endothelial cell #migration #mechanobiology, #angiogenesis, #hydrostaticpressure is out on @elife.bsky.social doi.org/10.7554/eLif... !! In our revised paper, we show that disrupted osmotic gradient and water inflow impair tip cell migration!
