Aquaporin engineering, a computational approach

open access: yes, 2009
Aquaporin is a family of membrane proteins devoted to transporting water molecules across biological membranes. This protein family is ubiquitously present in all three kingdoms of life, the Archea, Eubacteria and Eukaryotes.

Detection of anti-aquaporin-4 autoantibodies in the sera of Chinese neuromyelitis optica patients.

open access: yes, 2013
In this study, we recruited 10 neuromyelitis optica patients, two multiple sclerosis patients and two myelitis patients. Chinese hamster lung fibroblast (V79) cells transfected with a human aquaporin-4-mCherry fusion protein gene were used to detect anti-

A case report: Diagnosis and treatment of idiopathic hypertrophic pachymeningitis

open access: yesIbrain, Volume 11, Issue 1, Page 112-116, Spring 2025.
We reported a case of idiopathic hypertrophic dura meningitis diagnosed in our hospital. The patient repeatedly suffered from headaches, followed by blurred vision in the right eye. During this period, multiple sclerosis was considered for diagnosis, and it improved after hormone treatment.

Bidirectional Pathological Axis Between Alzheimer's Disease and Circadian Rhythm Disturbance: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Strategies

open access: yesiNew Medicine, EarlyView.
This graphical abstract illustrates a bidirectional vicious cycle between Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and circadian rhythm disturbance (CRD). On the one hand, AD pathology, including amyloid‐β (Aβ) plaque deposition and tau hyperphosphorylation, may damage the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) and disrupt melatonin signaling, leading to sleep fragmentation ...

Neuromyelitis optica - an update: 2007-2009

open access: yesAnnals of Indian Academy of Neurology, 2009
Neuromyelitis optica is an inflammatory demyelinating disorder of the central nervous system. The discovery of a specific antibody (NMO IgG /aquaporin-4 antibody) in patients with this condition has led to a marked revival of research on the disease ...

Early gene expression in the walnut tree occurring during stimulation of leaf hydraulic conductance by irradiance

open access: yesBiologia Plantarum, 2012
Leaf hydraulic conductance (Kleaf) plays a significant part in plant-water regulation. In walnut leaves, Kleaf is stimulated by irradiance and closely relates to the accumulation of JrPIP2s aquaporin transcripts, but it is independent of stomatal ...

CLONING OF AN ALGAL AQUAPORIN GENE

open access: yes, 2023
Aquaporins are proteins that selectively transport water across membranes. The current work is part of a larger research project to explore the use of aquaporins in a biomimetic film for the desalination of water.

Body Size and Habitat Association as Determinants for Water Balance, Temperature Relations, and Behavioral Performance in Leptodactylid Frogs

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The association between species' habitat preferences (e.g., aquatic, terrestrial, arboreal) and traits related to body temperature regulation and water balance has been relatively well studied in anurans. However, whether such associations hold for species occupying the same general habitat while differing in other relevant functional ...

Characterization of AQP gene expressions in Brassica napus during seed germination and in response to abiotic stresses

open access: yesBiologia Plantarum, 2014
Water transport across the cell membranes is regulated largely by a family of proteins known as aquaporins (AQPs). Plasma membrane intrinsic protein (PIP) is an important subfamily of plant AQPs localized on the plasma membrane.

Old disease, new twist

open access: yesJournal of Hospital Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract An 81‐year‐old man with a history of high‐grade urothelial carcinoma of the bladder and ureter on treatment with atezolizumab and tiragolumab presented to the emergency department with 5 months of malaise, generalized weakness, and fatigue and 2 weeks of subjective fevers. One month prior to presentation, he received an empiric 9‐day course of
