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 ...

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 ...

Seven aquaporin water channels are expressed in human kidneys, and they have key roles in maintaining body water homeostasis. Impairment of their function can result in nephrogenic diabetes ...

A new study provides exciting evidence supporting the involvement of aquaporins in corneal cell proliferation and nerve regeneration and suggests aquaporin 5 (AQP5) induction as a potential ...

Danish company Aquaporin A/S has developed a new system that uses proteins called aquaporins. “It is essentially the mechanism that allows water to cross the cell membrane of living cells ...

Astrocytes express aquaporin 4, the water channel protein, involved in water homeostasis and edema formation. Aside from its function in water homeostasis, recent studies started to show possible ...
