Recent breakthroughs and future directions in drugging aquaporins.
TIPS - Trends in Pharmacological Sciences, 2021 Aquaporins facilitate the passive transport of water, solutes, or ions across biological membranes. They are implicated in diverse pathologies including brain edema following stroke or trauma, epilepsy, cancer cell migration and tumor angiogenesis ...

Adaptable and Multifunctional Ion-Conducting Aquaporins.
Annual Review of Plant Biology, 2021 Aquaporins function as water and neutral solute channels, signaling hubs, disease virulence factors, and metabolon components. We consider plant aquaporins that transport ions compared to some animal counterparts.

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

MERCURY AFFECTS AQUAPORINS ACTIVITY AND GERMINATION OF THE EMBRYONIC AXIS OF Schizolobium parahyba (VELL.) BLAKE (FABACEAE) [PDF]
Revista Árvore, 2020 Germination is a physiological process that begins with hydration. Specific channels known as aquaporins are responsible for water uptake through biological cell membranes.

Current Neuropharmacology, 2010 Glial cells coordinate the differentiation, metabolism, and excitability of neurons; they modulate synaptic transmission and integrate signals emanating from neurons and other glial cells. Several evidences underlying the relation between these pathways and the regulatory mechanisms of ion concentration, supporting the role of Aquaporins (AQPs) in ...
