Freeze‐tolerant frogs accumulate cryoprotectants using photoperiod: A potential ecological trap

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 94, Issue 11, Page 2255-2266, November 2025.
Climate change is disrupting the reliability of photoperiod as a cue signalling seasonal changes in temperature. We show that gray treefrogs under a late‐season photoperiod accumulated large reserves of ‘antifreeze’ and exhibited greater cold tolerance.

Pan‐Cancer Analysis of the Prognostic and Immunological Role of AQP9: Friend or Foe?

Cancer Nexus, Volume 1, Issue 3, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Purpose The aquaporin‐9 (AQP9) has been implicated in tumorigenesis, but its pan‐cancer prognostic and immunology remain poorly understood. Therefore, we explored the role of AQP9 in pan‐cancer. Methods We systematically analyzed the expression of AQP9 across human cancers using multi‐omics data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), Genotype ...

Revisiting the silicon isotopic signal of sponge skeletons and its implications

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue 9, Page 2480-2495, September 2025.
Abstract This study investigates the relationship between the silicon (Si) isotopic composition of sponge skeletal silica (δ30SibSi) and seawater characteristics in sponge habitats, specifically the concentration of dissolved silicic acid and its Si isotopic signature (δ30SidSi).

PIN FORMED 2 Modulates the Transport of Arsenite in Arabidopsis thaliana

Plant Communications, 2020
Arsenic contamination is a major environmental issue, as it may lead to serious health hazard. The reduced trivalent form of inorganic arsenic, arsenite, is in general more toxic to plants compared with the fully oxidized pentavalent arsenate. The uptake

AQP3 is regulated by PPARγ and JNK in hepatic stellate cells carrying PNPLA3 I148M

Scientific Reports, 2017
Aquaglyceroporins (AQPs) allow the movement of glycerol that is required for triglyceride formation in hepatic stellate cells (HSC), as key cellular source of fibrogenesis in the liver.

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.

Trypanosomatid Aquaporins: Roles in Physiology and Drug Response

Diseases, 2013
In the class Kinetoplastida, we find an order of parasitic protozoans classified as Trypanosomatids. Three major pathogens form part of this order, Trypanosoma cruzi, Trypanosoma brucei, and Leishmania, which are responsible for disease and fatalities in

Acyrthosiphon pisum AQP2: A multifunctional insect aquaglyceroporin

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Biomembranes, 2012
Annotation of the recently sequenced genome of the pea aphid (Acyrthosiphon pisum) identified a gene ApAQP2 (ACYPI009194, Gene ID: 100168499) with homology to the Major Intrinsic Protein/aquaporin superfamily of membrane channel proteins. Phylogenetic analysis suggests that ApAQP2 is a member of an insect-specific clade of this superfamily.

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 body.
