In biology, osmosensing is a biological mechanism for detecting changes in environmental salinity. An osmosensor is a biological molecule involved in the process. [1] In cell biology, osmosensing is the detection of changes in the activity of water outside the cell (direct osmosensing) or the structure and composition of the cell itself (indirect osmosensing).
