Cytolysis, or osmotic lysis, occurs when a cell bursts due to an osmotic imbalance that has caused excess water to move into the cell.

The osmotic pressure of ocean water is about 27 atm.

Treatment was applied in several sessions of around five minutes, often blistering the skin.

Into the blistering wilderness of Shun the man who walked with kings now walks alone.

ARLINGTON The rapprochement between the United States and Myanmar (Burma) has proceeded at a blistering pace.

Moist desquamation occurs after about 20 Gy, with blistering appearing about one month after the exposure.

Similarly, the properties of water mean that tissues must have certain osmotic properties in order to function properly.

First degree burns that are only red in color and are not blistering are not included in this estimation.

Segways may have the right of way but riders also have to obey the traffic signals even on blistering cold days.

The attainment of global peace and security is intrinsically interwoven with the solution of the blistering poverty and indebtedness of the developing countries.

The reverse process, cytolysis, can occur if the cell is in a hypotonic solution resulting in a lower external osmotic pressure and a net flow of water into the cell.

This pressure, turgidity, is caused by the osmotic flow of water from an area of low solute concentration outside of the cell into the cell's vacuole, which has a higher solute concentration.

The water to be purified is placed in a chamber and put under an amount of pressure greater than the osmotic pressure exerted by the water and the solutes dissolved in it.

Mrs. Hall's eyes, directed straight before her, saw without seeing the brilliant oblong of the inn door, the road white and vivid, and Huxter's shop front blistering in the June sun.

Those of us who live with wet weather tend to curse it, but if we faced week after week of blistering sun with no prospect of clouds in sight, we would be in real trouble.

Reed Kroloff gives us a new lens for judging new architecture is it modern, or is it romantic? Look for glorious images from two leading practices and a blistering critique of the 9 11 planning process.

In contrast, this phenomenon is not observed in animal cells which have no cell walls to prevent them from being burst by the flow of water into the cell and must either continually pump out water, with a contractile vacuole, or live in an isotonic solution where there is no osmotic pressure.
