Evolutionary genomics of epidemic visceral leishmaniasis in the Indian subcontinent

eLife, 2016
Leishmania donovani causes visceral leishmaniasis (VL), the second most deadly vector-borne parasitic disease. A recent epidemic in the Indian subcontinent (ISC) caused up to 80% of global VL and over 30,000 deaths per year. Resistance against antimonial

The Important Role of Aquaglyceroporin 7 in Health and Disease

Biomolecules
Aquaporins (AQPs) are highly conserved small transmembrane proteins that facilitate the transport of water and small solutes across cell membranes. Aquaglyceroporin 7 (AQP7), a significant member of the AQP family, is widely distributed throughout the ...

Can aquaporins be used as diagnostic and prognostic markers for uterine smooth muscle tumours?

Biotechnology & Biotechnological Equipment, 2017
Generally, uterine leiomyosarcoma is easily diagnosed. However, uterine smooth muscle tumours which show atypical histological features and unusual growth patterns may mimic malignancy and may not be easily diagnosed.

Co-opted and canonical glycerol channels play a major role during anhydrobiosis of an extremophile crustacean

BMC Biology
Background Extremophiles evolved capacities to survive extended exposure to harsh environmental conditions such as complete desiccation (anhydrobiosis) and freezing (cryobiosis).

Antenatal Corticosteroids and Postnatal Fluid Restriction Produce Differential Effects on AQP3 Expression, Water Handling, and Barrier Function in Perinatal Rat Epidermis

Dermatology Research and Practice, 2010
Loss of water through the immature skin can lead to hypothermia and dehydration in preterm infants. The water and glycerol channel aquaglyceroporin-3 (AQP3) is abundant in fetal epidermis and might influence epidermal water handling and transepidermal ...

The Expression of Thymic AQP7 and Perilipin 1 (PLIN1) in Rats Fed a High-Fructose Diet is Modified by Voluntary Physical Activity

Turkish Journal of Immunology
Objective: Aquaporins (AQPs) are a large family of proteins that help transport water and small molecules. AQP7 is an AQP responsible for the extracellular transport of glycerol produced by lipolysis in adipocytes. Perilipin 1 (PLIN1) regulates lipolysis
