Life exists in water as universal solvent, and cells need to deal with its influx and efflux.
Nature has accomplished the almost impossible, creating membrane channels with both a …

Brain edema is a critical component of hepatic encephalopathy (HE) associated with acute
liver failure and such edema appears to be principally due to astrocyte swelling (cytotoxic …

Efforts toward the denovo design of artificial water channels have been made over the last
decades to understand the selectivity of water transport through membranes and their …

Aquaporins are integral membrane proteins which are also known as water channel
proteins. They aid quick transportation of water across membranes and are important in …

摘要水分子穿越双磷脂生物膜的输运机理是生理学和细胞生物学中一个长期未能解决的重要

The relation of astrocytic endfeet to the vasculature plays a key functional role in the neuro‐
glia‐vasculature unit. We characterize the spatial organization of astrocytes and the …

The expression, localization, and regulation of aquaporin 5 (AQP5), a member of the water
channel family of proteins, was investigated in tissues of the rat gastrointestinal tract …

The present study was conducted to investigate the mechanisms underlying fluid movement
across the trophectoderm during blastocyst formation by determining whether aquaporins …

Aquaporins (AQPs), members of the water-channel protein family, are highly expressed in
brain tissue especially in astrocytic end-feet. They are important players for water …

Ultrastructural and immunohistochemical studies were conducted on the gill epithelium of
the Mediterranean rainbow wrasse (Coris julis). We analysed the immunolocalisation of …
