Resilient Calvarial Bone Marrow Supports Retinal Repair in Type 2 Diabetes

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Skull bone (calvarium) marrow in diabetic mice stay structurally intact and keeps making blood cells, unlike the bone marrow of the leg bones. The skull marrow is exposed to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which contains protective molecules called oxysterols.

Significance of oxygen transport through aquaporins

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Aquaporins are membrane integral proteins responsible for the transmembrane transport of water and other small neutral molecules. Despite their well-acknowledged importance in water transport, their significance in gas transport processes remains unclear.

Cell Swelling by Osmosis: a Variational Approach

open access: yes, 2012
A very simple model for cell swelling by osmosis is introduced, resulting in a parabolic free boundary problem. In case of radially symmetric initial conditions, it is shown that the model can be viewed as a gradient flow involving entropy, surface area ...

aquaporin

open access: yes, 2021
Aquaporins, also called water channels, are channel proteins from a larger family of major intrinsic proteins that form pores in the membrane of biological cells, mainly facilitating transport of water between cells.

Amelioration of Post‐Stroke Edema and Microcirculatory Dysfunction via Targeted AQP4 Inhibition While Preserving the Glymphatic System

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Compared to untargeted therapy, the targeted nanocarrier, Angiopep‐2‐conjugated Lipid Nanoparticle (A‐LNP) loaded with TGN‐020 (TGN), selectively accumulated in stroke‐injured regions. It suppressed local aquaporin‐4 (AQP4) overexpression, thereby alleviating cerebral edema and hypoperfusion while preserving global glymphatic clearance.

Can Stabilization and Inhibition of Aquaporins Contribute to Future Development of Biomimetic Membranes?

open access: yesMembranes, 2015
In recent years, the use of biomimetic membranes that incorporate membrane proteins, i.e., biomimetic-hybrid membranes, has increased almost exponentially.

Putting two water transport models to the test under wet and dry conditions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
In order to improve fruit quality and quantity, accurate monitoring of the water status is necessary. The water status can be continuously predicted by using a mechanistic water transport and storage model (e.g. Steppe et al., 2006; 2008).

Myelitis‐Predominant Aggressive Phenotype: Unveiling Unique Patterns of Late‐Onset Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorders

open access: yesAnnals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective The objective of this study was to compare clinical features and prognosis of late‐onset neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (LO‐NMOSD, onset age ≥60 years) with adult‐onset NMOSD (AO‐NMOSD, onset age 18–59 years), and to provide insights for individualized management in elderly patients.

Porous organic cages as synthetic water channels

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
Replicating the performance of protein water channels (aquaporins) in artificial one-dimensional channels are often synthetically challenging. Here, the authors show that porous organic cages allow water permeation on the same magnitude as that of ...
