The relatively recent discovery of aquaporins (AQP) has introduced a new mechanism of membrane transport that may provide a therapeutic target for parasitic protozoan infections. The AQP family of ...

A lot of data have increased understanding of the functions and mechanisms of regulation of aquaporins both at the molecular and the clinical level. Research has also focused on aquaporins as ...

When there are low ADH levels, less aquaporins are lining the walls of the nephrons, meaning that the water passes through the collecting ducts and distal convoluted tubules and leaves the body as ...

Aquaporins, which move water through membranes of plant cells, were not thought to be able to permeate sugar molecules, but University of Adelaide researchers have observed sucrose transport in ...

Water flux between cells is facilitated by proteins embedded in the membrane, so-called aquaporins. Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry in Göttingen succeeded to ...

Aquaporins are membrane-channel proteins that are present at all levels of life, from bacteria to mammals. Most aquaporins are selectively permeated by water, although some family members are ...

Aquaporins are a family of small membrane proteins widely expressed by plant and animal cells. They bear a similar basic structure in whichever organism they are found, consisting of six ...

Aquaporins are proteins that serve as water channels to regulate the flow of water across biological cell membranes. They also remove excess salt and impurities in the body, and it is this aspect ...

They are “aquaporins” and salmon sperm. As 54-year-old Jennifer Aniston, an early adopter of the salmon-sperm facial, said in an interview, “Are you serious? How do you get salmon’s sperm?” ...

The idea for the nanotubes came from natural proteins called aquaporins, says study co-author Aleksandr Noy, an associate adjunct professor at the University of California Merced. Aquaporins are ...

Sugar permeation discovered in plant aquaporins Date: December 4, 2023 Source: University of Adelaide Summary: Aquaporins, which move water through membranes of plant cells, were not thought to be ...
