Breakdown of the inner endothelial blood-retinal barrier (BRB), as occurs in diabetic
retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, retinal vein occlusions, uveitis and other …

Aquaporins (AQPs) are membrane proteins that transport water and, in some cases, also
small solutes such as glycerol. AQPs are expressed in many fluid-transporting tissues, such …

Abstract Aquaporin-1 (AQP1) is a water channel protein expressed widely in vascular
endothelia, where it increases cell membrane water permeability,,. The role of AQP1 in …

Aquaporins (AQPs) are a family of transmembrane water channel proteins, which were
initially characterized as a novel protein family that plays a vital role in transcellular and …

While overexpression of several aquaporins (AQPs) has been reported in different types of
human cancer, the role of AQPs in carcinogenesis has not been clearly defined. Here, by …

Abstract Aquaporin-1 (AQP1) is the principal water-transporting protein in cell plasma
membranes in kidney proximal tubule, where it facilitates transepithelial water transport …

The aquaporins represent a family of transmembrane water channel proteins that play a
major role in trans-cellular and transepithelial water movement. Most tumors have been …

Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, and its incidence is rising with numbers
expected to increase 70% in the next two decades. The fact that current mainline treatments …

Abstract Water channel aquaporin 5 (AQP5) is highly expressed at the apical membrane of
alveolar type I epithelial cells and confers high osmotic water permeability. AQP5 is also …

Endothelial cells (EC) were extracted through a lectin-based method from bone marrow of
57 patients with active multiple myeloma (MM) and compared with their healthy quiescent …
