title: On the micro-space theory of osmosis osmofiltration, "active" water-flow in membrane-gaps.
abstract: The author revised the conclusion drawn from his former experiments and recognized a complex phenomenon that he named osmofiltration. This phenomenon occurs by way of the inhibition of the diffusion within a micro-gap bordering the experimental membrane in the model. It may have a significance as a basic biological phenomenon in similar biological membranous structures, and even, it may have a medical importance. The author discusses his working hypothesis about the micro-space theory of osmosis.
