The choroid plexus (CP) forming the blood–cerebrospinal fluid (B-CSF) barrier is among the
least studied structures of the central nervous system (CNS) despite its clinical importance …

This review integrates eight aspects of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) circulatory dynamics:
formation rate, pressure, flow, volume, turnover rate, composition, recycling and …

The glymphatic system, a fluid-clearance pathway involved in brain waste clearance, is
known to be impaired in neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's disease (AD). For this …

Aquaporin-4 (AQP4) is a bidirectional water channel that is found on astrocytes throughout
the central nervous system. Expression is particularly high around areas in contact with …

Three aquaporins are expressed in the brain. AQP4, the predominant brain water channel,
is expressed in astrocyte endfeet facing brain capillaries, perisynaptic spaces, and nodes of …

Water channels or water channel proteins (WCPs) are transmembrane proteins that have a
specific three‐dimensional structure with a pore that can be permeated by water molecules …

The choroid plexus epithelium secretes electrolytes and fluid in the brain ventricular lumen
at high rates. Several channels and ion carriers have been identified as likely mediators of …

Aquaporins have recently been identified as protein channels involved in water transport.
These channels may play a role in the edema formation and alterations in microvascular …

After a decade of work on the water permeability of red blood cells (RBC) Benga group in
Cluj-Napoca, Romania, discovered in 1985 the first water channel protein in the RBC …

Aquaporin-1 (AQP1) is a water channel that is highly expressed in tissues with rapid O2
transport. It has been reported that this protein contributes to gas permeation (CO2, NO and …
