Aquaporins in Acute Brain Injury: Insights from Clinical and Experimental Studies [PDF]

Biomedicines
Aquaporins (AQPs) are a family of transmembrane water channel proteins facilitating the transport of water and, in some cases, small solutes such as glycerol, lactate, and urea.

In silico analysis of molecular mimicry between human aquaporin 3, Aspergillus fumigatus aquaporin and aquaporins from allergic sources [version 2; peer review: 2 approved] [PDF]

F1000Research
Background Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that has a significant impact on quality of life. The immune response and allergy symptoms in AD are triggered by the recognition of specific allergens by IgE antibodies.

The Roles of Aquaporins in Plant Stress Responses

Journal of Developmental Biology, 2016
Aquaporins are membrane channel proteins ubiquitously present in all kingdoms of life. Although aquaporins were originally discovered as water channels, their roles in the transport of small neutral solutes, gasses, and metal ions are now well ...

Onion plants (Allium cepa L.) react differently to salinity levels according to the regulation of aquaporinsKey Message

Heliyon, 2023
As salinity is one of the main environmental stresses that reduces the growth and productivity of crops by reducing water uptake and transport, in this work, we associated the physiological tolerance response of onion to increased NaCl concentration ...

Plasma membrane vesicles from cauliflower meristematic tissue and their role in water passage

BMC Plant Biology, 2021
Background Cauliflower (Brassica oleracea L. var. botrytis) inflorescences are composed mainly of meristematic tissue, which has a high cellular proliferation. This considerable cellular density makes the inflorescence an organ with a large proportion of
