Diabetes insipidus in mice with a mutation in aquaporin-2. [PDF]

PLoS Genetics, 2005
Congenital nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI) is a disease characterized by failure of the kidney to concentrate urine in response to vasopressin. Human kindreds with nephrogenic diabetes insipidus have been found to harbor mutations in the vasopressin

Modified Kedem-Katchalsky equations for osmosis through nano-pore

, 2016
This work presents a modified Kedem-Katchalsky equations for osmosis through nano-pore. osmotic reflection coefficient of a solute was found to be chiefly affected by the entrance of the pore while filtration reflection coefficient can be affected by ...

Nationwide Survey of Atopic Myelitis and Plexin D1‐Immunoglobulin G‐Related Pain

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To elucidate the features of plexin D1‐immunoglobulin (Ig)G‐associated neuropathic pain and its relationship to atopic myelitis (AM) in a nationwide Japanese survey. Methods A preliminary survey questionnaire was sent to 1574 selected departments (neurology and pediatrics/pediatric neurology) to explore the numbers of AM and plexin ...

Aquaporin 2 Promotes Cell Migration and Epithelial Morphogenesis [PDF]

Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 2012
The aquaporin 2 (AQP2) water channel, expressed in kidney collecting ducts, contributes critically to water homeostasis in mammals. Animals lacking or having significantly reduced levels of AQP2, however, have not only urinary concentrating abnormalities but also renal tubular defects that lead to neonatal mortality from renal failure.

Lessons Learned: Quality Analysis of Optical Coherence Tomography in Neuromyelitis Optica

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Optical coherence tomography (OCT)‐derived retina measurements are markers for neuroaxonal visual pathway status. High‐quality OCT scans are essential for reliable measurements, but their acquisition is particularly challenging in eyes with severe visual impairment, as often observed in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders ...

Decreased Expression of Aquaporins as a Feature of Tubular Damage in Lupus Nephritis

Cells
Background: Tubulointerstitial hypoxia is a key factor for lupus nephritis progression to end-stage renal disease. Numerous aquaporins (AQPs) are expressed by renal tubules and are essential for their proper functioning.
