Aqp9 is expressed in the ependymal lining of the third ventricle, and probably also in astrocytes and epithelial cells. Aqp9 belongs to a subfamily of aquaporins — the aquaglyceroporins — that ...

The discovery of a family of molecules—aquaporin (AQP ... It is expressed in astrocytes and ependymal cells. It is strongly enriched in astrocyte membranes at the interface between brain ...

The spinal cord exhibits limited functional repair despite the presence of endogenous ependymal stem cells lining the central canal throughout the cord. Loss of oligodendrocytes after a spinal ...

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 ...

Like blood, CSF only circulates through certain channels. Ependymal cells are the specialized cells that serve as both the barrier to keep the CSF running through its channels and as the transport ...

The researchers’ cross-species examination of primate and rodent spinal cords revealed new insights into the behaviors of ependymal and astrocyte cells following SCI, highlighting their dynamic ...

Their cross-species examination of primate and rodent spinal cords revealed new insights into the behaviors of ependymal and astrocyte cells following SCI, highlighting their dynamic roles in ...

the researchers identified a group of latent stem cells in the central nervous system of mice. These are part of the ependymal cells that line the walls of compartments in the brain and spinal ...

Those strongly affected included microglia and border-associated macrophages, oligodendrocytes, tanycytes, and ependymal cells. They found that in aging brains, genes associated with inflammation ...

radial glial cells, and ependymal cells. Schwann cells, enteric glial cells, and satellite glial cells are part of the PNS. Each type of glial cell is distinct in their origin, composition ...
