Aquaporins: relevance to cerebrospinal fluid physiology and therapeutic potential in hydrocephalus
The discovery of a family of membrane water channel proteins called aquaporins, and the finding that aquaporin 1 was located in the choroid plexus, has prompted interest in the role of aquaporins in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) production and consequently ...
