Lead induces increased water permeability in astrocytes expressing aquaporin 4

E Gunnarson, G Axehult, G Baturina, S Zelenin… - Neuroscience, 2005 - Elsevier
The water channel aquaporin 4 (AQP4) is abundantly expressed in astrocytes. There is now
compelling evidence that AQP4 may contribute to an unfavorable course in brain edema …
