Highlights (AQPs) are transmembrane proteins responsible for fast water movement across
cell membranes, including those of astrocytes. The expression and subcellular localization …

Aquaporins (AQPs) are ubiquitous membrane proteins whose identification, pioneered by
Peter Agre's team in the early nineties, provided a molecular basis for transmembrane water …

The choroid plexus is an epithelial–endothelial vascular convolute within the ventricular
system of the vertebrate brain. It consists of epithelial cells, fenestrated blood vessels, and …

The neuroepithelium is a germinal epithelium containing progenitor cells that produce
almost all of the central nervous system cells, including the ependyma. The neuroepithelium …

The current pathogenic scenarios of different types of dementia are based on a number of
common mechanisms of neurodegeneration, such as accumulation of abnormal proteins …

Diuretics, in one form or another, have been around for centuries and this review sets out to
chart their development and clinical use. Starting with the physiology of the kidney, it …

Aquaporin (AQP) water channels, essential for fluid homeostasis, are expressed in
perivascular brain end-feet regions of astroglia (AQP4) and in choroid plexus (AQP1). At a …

Aquaporins (AQPs) or water channels render the lipid bilayer of cell membranes permeable
to water. The numerous AQP subtypes present in any given species, the transport properties …

Senile plaques (SPs) containing amyloid β peptide (Aβ) 1–42 are the major species present
in Alzheimer disease (AD), whereas Aβ1–40 is the major constituent of arteriolar walls …

A quaporins (AQPs) were discovered as channels facilitating water movement across
cellular membranes. Whereas much of the research has focused on characterizing AQPs …
