Cells release nanometer-scale, lipid bilayer-enclosed biomolecular packages (extracellular
vesicles; EVs) into their surrounding environment. EVs are hypothesized to be intercellular …

The aquaporins (AQPs) form a family of integral membrane proteins that facilitate the
movement of water across biological membrane by osmosis, as well as facilitating the …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS), including H2O2, contribute to oxidative stress and may
cause cancer initiation and progression. However, at low concentrations, H2O2 can regulate …

Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is a chronic autoimmune disease with the pathological hallmark of
lymphoplasmacytic infiltration of exocrine glands-more specifically salivary and lacrimal …

Aquaporins (AQPs) are a family of membrane water channels that basically function as
regulators of intracellular and intercellular water flow. To date, thirteen AQPs, which are …

The aquaporins (AQPs) are a family of small integral membrane proteins that facilitate the
bidirectional transport of water across biological membranes in response to osmotic …

The main role of salivary glands (SG) is the production and secretion of saliva, in which
aquaporins (AQPs) play a key role by ensuring water flow. The AQPs are transmembrane …

Water homeostasis is fundamental for cell survival. Transport of water across cellular
membranes is governed by aquaporins—tetrameric integral membrane channels that are …

Aquaporins are tetrameric membrane-bound channels that facilitate transport of water and
other small solutes across cell membranes. In eukaryotes, they are frequently regulated by …

Aquaporins, a highly conserved group of membrane proteins, are involved in the
bidirectional transfer of water and small solutes across cell membranes taking part in many …
