Aquaporin-4 expression in distal myopathy with rimmed vacuoles [PDF]
Background Distal myopathy with rimmed vacuoles/hereditary inclusion body myopathy is clinically characterized by the early involvement of distal leg muscles. The striking pathological features of the myopathy are muscle fibers with rimmed vacuoles.

The Comprehensive Live Cell-Based Cytotoxicity Assay for Monitoring Disease Activity and Guiding Rescue Therapy in Acute Attacks of NMOSD. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Objective Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is a devastating neurological disease that lacks serological biomarkers that can accurately reflect disease activity. We established a live cell‐based assay (LCBA) using serum with endogenous complement to quantify the overall cytotoxicity, offering a novel functional tool for monitoring

Dynamic Changes in Serum Aquaporin-1 and Aquaporin-5 in Transient Tachypnea of the Newborn. [PDF]
Transient tachypnea of the newborn (TTN) is a common cause of neonatal respiratory distress, yet the role of aquaporins in its pathophysiology remains unclear.

Glial cells coordinate the differentiation, metabolism, and excitability of neurons; they modulate synaptic transmission and integrate signals emanating from neurons and other glial cells. Several evidences underlying the relation between these pathways and the regulatory mechanisms of ion concentration, supporting the role of Aquaporins (AQPs) in ...

The lung is the interface between air and blood where the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide occurs. The surface liquid that is directly exposed to the gaseous compartment covers both conducting airways and respiratory zone and forms the air-liquid interface.

Expression and localization of Aquaporin 1a in the sea-bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) during ontogeny [PDF]
The successful establishment of a species in a given habitat depends on the ability of each of its developing stages to adapt to the environment. In order to understand this process we have studied the adaptation of a euryhaline fish, the sea-bass ...

Barley plasma membrane intrinsic proteins (PIP aquaporins) as water and CO2 transporters [PDF]
We identified barley aquaporins and demonstrated that one, HvPIP2;1, transports water and CO2. Regarding water homeostasis in plants, regulations of aquaporin expression were observed in many plants under several environmental stresses. Under salt stress,
