Several techniques have been developed in his laboratory over the years for measuring the forces and flows responsible for producing transcapillary exchange.
Isolated organs are rich in endothelial cells, vascular smooth muscle and other types of cells.
Therefore, cell function as related to vascular resistances, capillary damage, airway resistances, motility, and active transport can be studied as it relates to organ function and compared to approaches and techniques developed in cell cultures. The information obtained from both sources will be important in determining the changes and similarities existing between cell cultures and intact cells, and ultimately, organ function.
