Advances in the treatment of neuromyelitis optic spectrum disorder

Therapeutic Advances in Neurological Disorders
Neuromyelitis optic spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is a rare autoimmune disease characterized by recurrent episodes and severe debilitation. It primarily involves the central nervous system and is associated with the presence of aquaporin-4 antibodies ...

Characterization of aquaporin-6 as a nitrate channel in mammalian cells. Requirement of pore-lining residue threonine 63.

The Journal of biological chemistry, 2002
Aquaporins (AQP) were originally regarded as plasma membrane channels that are freely permeated by water or small uncharged solutes but not by ions. Unlike other aquaporins, AQP6 overexpressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes was previously found to exhibit Hg2+ or pH-activated ion conductance.

The Role of Polyphenols in Respiratory and Gut Health: From the Perspective of Gut‐Lung Axis

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The gut‐lung axis constitutes a dynamic, multidirectional communication platform between the gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts. Its complexity arises from the integrated crosstalk among the microbiota, immune system, and redox homeostasis, collectively influencing disease susceptibility and progression.

Differential effects of taurine treatment and taurine deficiency on the outcome of renal ischemia reperfusion injury

Journal of Biomedical Science, 2010
Taurine possesses membrane stabilization, osmoregulatory and antioxidant properties, aspects of relevance to ischemic injury. We tested the hypothesis that body taurine status is a determinant of renal ischemic injury.

Comparative Analysis of Stress Adaptation in the Yeast Microbiome of Cactus

Yeast, EarlyView.
Yeasts and related fungi isolated from cacti or nearby non‐cactus plants were characterized phenotypically and genomically, revealing differences that hint at modes of adaptation to the cactus host. ABSTRACT Together with other fungi, yeasts make up a significant component of the plant microbiome. As the planet warms, cacti expand their range.

Deciphering unusually large modulations in two related organic hydroxy channel structures

Acta Crystallographica Section B, EarlyView.
Two related organic hydroxy‐channel compounds are shown to have unusually large structural modulations.The incommensurately modulated structures of two related organic hydroxy‐channel compounds [(R)‐1‐(1,3‐dihydroxypropan‐2‐yl)‐3‐(octan‐2‐yl)urea, 1; 1‐(1,3‐dihydroxypropan‐2‐yl)‐3‐octylurea, 2] have been determined and compared to the structure of a ...

The Aquaporin Gene SbPIP1;2 Is Involved in Dormancy Release and Regulated Under Low Temperatures in Lilium ‘Siberia’

Horticulturae
The dormancy of lilies is an important physiological process involving vernalisation and the differentiation and maturation of flower buds. We have cloned an aquaporin, SbP1P1;2, from the Lilium ‘Siberia’. Subcellular localisation analysis indicates that

Influence of an AQP4 haplotype and sleep duration on early Alzheimer's disease. [PDF]

Alzheimers Dement
Abstract INTRODUCTION Aquaporin‐4 (AQP4) is thought to facilitate Alzheimer's disease (AD) protein clearance during sleep. We examined whether AQP4 genetic variation was associated with AD pathology or modified the association between sleep duration and AD biomarkers.
