Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 Recurrence and new cases of cancer constitute a challenging human health problem. Aquaporins (AQPs) can be expressed in many types of tumours, including the brain, breast, pancreas, colon, skin, ovaries, and lungs, and the histological grade of cancer is

Aquaporins in regulation of plant protective responses to drought
Ukrainian Botanical Journal, 2021 Plasmolemma permeability is an integral indicator of the functional state of plant cells under stress. Aquaporins (AQPs), specialized transmembrane proteins that form water channels and play an important role in the adaptation of plants to adverse ...

Foliar Mineral Treatments for The Reduction of Melon (Cucumis melo L.) Fruit Cracking
Agronomy, 2020 Fruit cracking affects many types of crops and is a major problem since the breakage of the surface of the fruit produces high economic losses. Numerous studies have looked at different ways to prevent this, mainly in melon, but with a low success rate ...

Are Aquaporins Expressed in Stomatal Complexes Promising Targets to Enhance Stomatal Dynamics?
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 The opening and closure of stomata depend on the turgor pressure adjustment by the influx or efflux of ions and water in guard cells. In this process, aquaporins may play important roles by facilitating the transport of water and other small molecules ...
