Aquaporins in Renal Diseases

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2019
Aquaporins (AQPs) are a family of highly selective transmembrane channels that mainly transport water across the cell and some facilitate low-molecular-weight solutes.

Compartmentalized and signal-selective gap junctional coupling in the hearing cochlea [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC) plays a major role in cochlear function. Recent evidence suggests that connexin 26 (Cx26) and Cx30 are the major constituent proteins of cochlear gap junction channels, possibly in a unique heteromeric ...

Aquaporins with anion/monocarboxylate permeability: mechanisms, relevance for pathogen-host interactions

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2014
Classically, aquaporins are divided based on pore selectivity into water specific, orthodox aquaporins and solute-facilitating aquaglyceroporins, which conduct e.g. glycerol and urea.

Foliar Mineral Treatments for The Reduction of Melon (Cucumis melo L.) Fruit Cracking

open access: yesAgronomy, 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 ...

Genomic diversity of aquaporins across genus Oryza provides a rich genetic resource for development of climate resilient rice cultivars

open access: yesBMC Plant Biology, 2023
Background Plant aquaporins are critical genetic players performing multiple biological functions, especially climate resilience and water-use efficiency. Their genomic diversity across genus Oryza is yet to be explored. Results This study identified 369

Aquaporins in regulation of plant protective responses to drought

open access: yesUkrainian 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 ...

A proteomic and phosphoproteomic analysis of Oryza sativa plasma membrane and vacuolar membrane [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Proteomic and phosphoproteomic analyses of rice shoot and root tonoplast-enriched and plasma membrane-enriched membrane fractions were carried out to look at tissue-specific expression, and to identify putative regulatory sites of membrane transport ...

Volume changes during active shape fluctuations in cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Cells modify their volume in response to changes in osmotic pressure but it is usually assumed that other active shape variations do not involve significant volume fluctuations.

Nanoencapsulation of Pomegranate Extract to Increase Stability and Potential Dermatological Protection

open access: yesPharmaceutics, 2021
Pomegranate extract (PG-E) has been reported to exert a protective effect on the skin due to its antioxidant activity. Ingredients rich in phenolic compounds are unstable in extract solutions, and, therefore, the use of a suitable nanosystem to ...

Cloning and bioinformatics analysis of aquaporin proteins in the European house dust mite, Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus

open access: yesThe European Zoological Journal, 2023
Aquaporins are highly conserved water channel proteins involved in the transport of solutes across membranes. The few aquaporins identified to date play major roles in excretion in insects.
