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.

Large permeabilities of hourglass nanopores: From hydrodynamics to single file transport [PDF]

, 2014
In fluid transport across nanopores, there is a fundamental dissipation that arises from the connection between the pore and the macroscopic reservoirs.

The role of aquaporins in the kidney of euryhaline teleosts [PDF]

, 2011
Water balance in teleost fish is maintained with contributions from the major osmoregulatory organs: intestine, gills and kidney. Overall water fluxes have been studied in all of these organs but not until recently has it become possible to approach the ...

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)

Aquaporins in the Cornea

International Journal of Molecular Sciences
The cornea is an avascular, transparent tissue that allows light to enter the visual system. Accurate vision requires proper maintenance of the cornea’s integrity and structure. Due to its exposure to the external environment, the cornea is prone to injury and must undergo proper wound healing to restore vision.

Cell Swelling by Osmosis: a Variational Approach

, 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 ...

The central role of aquaporins in the pathophysiology of ischemic stroke [PDF]

, 2015
Stroke is a complex and devastating neurological condition with limited treatment options. Brain edema is a serious complication of stroke. Early edema formation can significantly contribute to infarct formation and thus represents a promising target ...

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.
