Aquaporins in health and disease
(2020)Aquaporins (AQPs) are transmembrane channel proteins that mainly facilitate the water translocation through the plasma cell membrane. For several years these proteins have been extensively examined for their biologic role ... -
Brattleboro rats have impaired apical membrane water permeability regulation in the outer medullary collecting duct principal cells
(2016)Vasopressin (AVP) regulates the body salt-water balance. Brattleboro rats carry an AVP gene mutation resulting in a recessive form of central diabetes insipidus, being ideal for AVP deficiency studies. Herein, we studied ... -
Methods to measure water permeability
(2017)Water permeability is a key feature of the cell plasma membranes and it has seminal importance for a number of cell functions such as cell volume regulation, cell proliferation, cell migration, and angiogenesis to name a ... -
Transcriptomic analysis of the Aquaporin (AQP) gene family interactome identifies a molecular panel of four prognostic markers in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma
(2019)Background: This study aimed to assess the differential gene expression of aquaporin (AQP) gene family interactome in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) using data mining techniques to identify novel candidate genes ... -
The whole genome sequence of the Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann), reveals insights into the biology and adaptive evolution of a highly invasive pest species
(2016)Background: The Mediterranean fruit fly (medfly), Ceratitis capitata, is a major destructive insect pest due to its broad host range, which includes hundreds of fruits and vegetables. It exhibits a unique ability to invade ...
