Aquaporin‐1, aquaporin‐3 and aquaporin‐5 differentially modulate cell biophysical and biomechanical properties, impacting cell stiffness and cell–cell adhesion

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 3, Page 806-824, February 2026.
GA text Overexpression of aquaporins AQP1, AQP3, or AQP5 in HEK‐293 T cells induced changes in cell biophysical properties and migration. Atomic force microscopy (AFM)–based force spectroscopy studies demonstrated that AQP1 overexpression increased cell stiffness and cell–cell adhesion, AQP3 augmented cell stiffness but reduced cell–cell adhesion ...

Glutamate reduces glucose utilization while concomitantly enhancing AQP9 and MCT2 expression in cultured rat hippocampal neurons

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2014
The excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate has been reported to have a major impact on brain energy metabolism. Using primary cultures of rat hippocampal neurons, we observed that glutamate reduces glucose utilization in this cell type, suggesting ...

Cryopreservation of Anopheles gambiae Larvae

open access: yesAdvanced Biology, Volume 10, Issue 1, January 2026.
Advancements in vector control methods have resulted in a rapidly growing collection of critically important mosquito strains necessitating the development of cryopreservation protocols to minimize the risk of genetic drift, cross‐contamination, or catastrophic loss.

The Aquaporin Channel Repertoire of the Tardigrade

open access: yesBioinformatics and Biology Insights, 2013
Limno-terrestrial tardigrades are small invertebrates that are subjected to periodic drought of their micro-environment. They have evolved to cope with these unfavorable conditions by anhydrobiosis, an ametabolic state of low cellular water.

The Journey of Arsenic from Soil to Grain in Rice

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2017
Arsenic (As) is a non-essential toxic metalloid whose elevated concentration in rice grains is a serious issue both for rice yield and quality, and for human health. The rice-As interactions, hence, have been studied extensively in past few decades.

Mechanism of CO2 and NH3 transport through human aquaporin 1: Evidence for parallel CO2 pathways

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, Volume 604, Issue 1, Page 336-365, 1 January 2026.
Abstract figure legend The figure illustrates the permeation pathways for CO2, NH3 and H2O through AQP1. The panel on the left, with the wild‐type protein under control conditions, CO2 moves through monomeric pores (2 of 4 shown) but predominantly via an alternate pathway (perhaps the central pore of the tetramer).

Pathogenic Significance of Trypanosomatids: Progress in Drug Resistance, Control Strategies, and Artificial Intelligence

open access: yesInterdisciplinary Perspectives on Infectious Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Trypanosomatids, including the genera Trypanosoma and Leishmania, are protozoan parasites of significant medical and veterinary relevance. These organisms cause African trypanosomiasis, Chagas disease, and leishmaniasis, which are classified as neglected tropical diseases (NTDs).

Aquaglyceroporins Expression and Glycerol Permeability are modulated by Estradiol in Mouse Sertoli cells

open access: yesRevista Cubana de Investigaciones Biomédicas, 2020
Introduction: Metabolic diseases are related with severe fertility problems, partly due to increased aromatization of androgens to estrogens. Elevated levels of 17β-Estradiol (E2) are known to cause alterations on normal development of germ cells ...
