Over the past decade, cold atmospheric plasma (CAP), a near room temperature ionized
gas has shown its promising application in cancer therapy. Two CAP devices, namely …

Abstract Background Hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2) is an important signaling compound that
has recently been identified as a new substrate for several members of the aquaporin …

The aquaporins (AQPs) are a family of small, integral membrane proteins that facilitate water
transport across the plasma membranes of cells in response to osmotic gradients. Data from …

Nitric oxide (NO) is a highly reactive molecule, generated through metabolism of L-arginine
by NO synthase (NOS). Abnormal NO levels in mammalian cells are associated with multiple …

The decade since the publication of the third edition of this volume has been an era of great
progress in biology in general and the plant sciences in particular. This is especially true …

Oxidants are produced as a by-product of aerobic metabolism, and organisms ranging from
prokaryotes to mammals have evolved with an elaborate and redundant complement of …

Background Aquaporins are membrane channels that facilitate the transport of water and
small neutral molecules across biological membranes of most living organisms. Scope of …

Aquaporins (AQPs) are integral membrane proteins and found in all living organisms from
bacteria to human. AQPs mainly involved in the transmembrane diffusion of water as well as …

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has emerged as a new and important member in the group of
gaseous signaling molecules. However, the molecular transport mechanism has not yet …

Aquaporins and aquaglyceroporins form a family of pore proteins that facilitate the efficient
and selective flux of small solutes across biological membranes. We studied the selectivity of …
