AQP3 and AQP5—Potential Regulators of Redox Status in Breast Cancer

Molecules, 2021
Breast cancer is still one of the leading causes of mortality in the female population. Despite the campaigns for early detection, the improvement in procedures and treatment, drastic improvement in survival rate is omitted.

The Impact of Semi‐Transparent Solar Panels on Tomato and Broccoli Growth

Advanced Energy & Sustainability Research
The emergence of semi‐transparent solar panels offers opportunities for their application in greenhouses where the radiation is a critical issue. The light passing through these panels is often affected, leading to a decrease in certain wavelengths that ...

Regulation of transmembrane water flow in Avena sativa seedlings under drough conditions

Известия высших учебных заведений. Поволжский регион: Естественные науки, 2023
Background. The permeability of biological membranes for water is determined both by the state of the lipid bilayer and the water channels formed by a highly conserved group of proteins, aquaporins. Aquaporins significantly reduce the activation energy

Genome-wide identification and expression analysis of aquaporins in tomato. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
The family of aquaporins, also called water channels or major intrinsic proteins, is characterized by six transmembrane domains that together facilitate the transport of water and a variety of low molecular weight solutes.

The zebrafish genome encodes the largest vertebrate repertoire of functional aquaporins with dual paralogy and substrate specificities similar to mammals

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2010
Background Aquaporins are integral membrane proteins that facilitate the transport of water and small solutes across cell membranes. These proteins are vital for maintaining water homeostasis in living organisms. In mammals, thirteen aquaporins (AQP0-12)

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

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

Porous organic cages as synthetic water channels

Nature 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 ...
