The aquaporins (AQPs) are a family of small integral membrane proteins that facilitate the
bidirectional transport of water across biological membranes in response to osmotic …

Cataract and presbyopia are the leading cause of vision loss and impaired vision,
respectively, worldwide. Changes in lens biochemistry and physiology with age are …

The perfluorooctane sulfonate alternative, F–53B, induces multiple physiological defects but
whether it can disrupt eye development is unknown. We exposed zebrafish to F–53B at four …

Aquaporins (AQPs) are multifunctional transmembrane channel proteins permeable to water
and an expanding array of solutes. AQP-mediated ion channel activity was first observed …

Lens, an avascular organ involved in light transmission, contains an internal micro-
circulatory system coupling ions to fluid movement, thus providing nutrients to internal lens …

Abstract Aquaporin-5 (AQP5) regulates osmotic balance and transparency of the ocular lens
through facilitated diffusion of water and represents an integral component of the lens …
