Aquaporin Expression Contributes to Human Transurothelial Permeability In Vitro and Is Modulated by NaCl [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
It is generally considered that the bladder is impervious and stores urine in unmodified form on account of the barrier imposed by the highly-specialised uro-epithelial lining.

Contrasting disease patterns in seropositive and seronegative neuromyelitis optica: A multicentre study of 175 patients [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
BACKGROUND: The diagnostic and pathophysiological relevance of antibodies to aquaporin-4 (AQP4-Ab) in patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) has been intensively studied. However, little is known so far about the clinical impact of

Aquaporins: relevance to cerebrospinal fluid physiology and therapeutic potential in hydrocephalus

open access: yesCerebrospinal Fluid Research, 2010
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 ...

Eph-ephrin Signaling Affects Eye Lens Fiber Cell Intracellular Voltage and Membrane Conductance

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2021
The avascular eye lens generates its own microcirculation that is required for maintaining lifelong lens transparency. The microcirculation relies on sodium ion flux, an extensive network of gap junction (GJ) plaques between lens fiber cells and ...

Renal aquaporins

open access: yesKidney International, 1996
Aquaporins (AQPs) are a newly recognized family of transmembrane proteins that function as molecular water channels. At least four aquaporins are expressed in the kidney where they mediate rapid water transport across water-permeable epithelia and play critical roles in urinary concentrating and diluting processes.

Gas-tight triblock-copolymer membranes are converted to CO2 permeable by insertion of plant aquaporins [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We demonstrate that membranes consisting of certain triblock-copolymers were tight for CO2. Using a novel approach, we provide evidence for aquaporin facilitated CO2 diffusion.

The aquaporins.

open access: yesGenome biology, 2006
Water is the major component of all living cells, and efficient regulation of water homeostasis is essential for many biological processes. The mechanism by which water passes through biological membranes was a matter of debate until the discovery of the aquaporin water channels.

Aquaporins in Sepsis [PDF]

open access: yesClinical & Medical Biochemistry, 2017
Sepsis is a common cause of death in intensive care units worldwide. Due to the high complexity of this immunological syndrome development of novel therapeutic strategies is urgent. Promising drug targets or biomarkers may depict aquaporins (AQPs) as they regulate several key mechanisms of sepsis.

Molecular Mechanisms and Drug Development in Aquaporin Water Channel Diseases: Structure and Function of Aquaporins

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2004
The discovery of the water channel aquaporin has greatly expanded our understanding of the regulation of the water permeability of biological membranes.
