The aquaporins (AQPs) are plasma membrane water-transporting proteins. AQP4 is the
principal member of this protein family in the CNS, where it is expressed in astrocytes and is …

Cholangiocytes are epithelial cells that line the intra-and extrahepatic ducts of the biliary
tree. The main physiologic function of cholangiocytes is modification of hepatocyte-derived …

Aquaporins (AQPs) are integral membrane proteins and found in all living organisms from
bacteria to human. AQPs mainly involved in the transmembrane diffusion of water as well as …

ABSTRACT Introduction: Aquaporin-4 (AQP4) is a water transporting protein expressed at
the plasma membrane of astrocytes throughout the central nervous system (CNS). Analysis …

Abstract Background Membrane intrinsic proteins (MIPs) are the proteins in charge of
regulating water transport into cells. Because of this essential function, the MIP family is …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS), including H2O2, contribute to oxidative stress and may
cause cancer initiation and progression. However, at low concentrations, H2O2 can regulate …

Chemokine-dependent trafficking is indispensable for the effector function of antigen-
experienced T cells during immune responses. In this study, we report that the water/glycerol …

The erythrocyte contains a network of pathways that regulate salt and water content in the
face of extracellular and intracellular osmotic perturbations. This allows the erythrocyte to …

Biological membranes define the boundaries of cells and compartmentalize the chemical
and physical processes required for life. Many biological processes are carried out by …

Water transport through the human digestive system is physiologically crucial for
maintaining body water homeostasis and ensure digestive and absorptive functions. Within …
