Effect of Wettability and Adhesion Property of Solid Margins on Water Drainage
Biomimetics, 2023 Liquid flows at the solid surface and drains at the margin under gravity are ubiquitous in our daily lives. Previous research mainly focuses on the effect of substantial margin’s wettability on liquid pinning and has proved that hydrophobicity inhibits ...

The Aquaporin Water Channels [PDF]
Proceedings of the American Thoracic Society, 2006 The topic of my talk, the aquaporins, is something that we have been studying in our lab for the last 15 years. It is not something that I anticipated when starting my career. In fact, I am a hematologist, but in science, sometimes what we find is not what we are looking for. A typical middle-aged man, I weigh 75 kg, of which 50 are water.

HPV Infection Affects Human Sperm Functionality by Inhibition of Aquaporin-8
Cells, 2020 Human sperm cells express different aquaporins (AQPs), AQP3, 7, 8, 11, which are localized both in the plasma membrane and in intracellular structures. Besides cell volume regulation and end stage of cytoplasm removal during sperm maturation, the role of

Structure and Function of Water Channels [PDF]
Current Opinion in Structural Biology, 2002 All aquaporins are efficient water transporters, while sustaining strict selectivity, even against protons, thereby maintaining the proton gradient across the cell membrane. Recently solved structures of these membrane channels have helped us to understand this remarkable property.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Phototrophs evolved light‐harvesting systems adapted for efficient photon capture in habitats enriched in far‐red radiation. A subset of eukaryotic pigment‐binding proteins can absorb far‐red photons via low‐energy chlorophyll states known as red forms.
