New Perspectives on the Potential Role of Aquaporins (AQPs) in the Physiology of Inflammation

Aquaporins (AQPs) are emerging, in the last few decades, as critical proteins regulating water fluid homeostasis in cells involved in inflammation. AQPs represent a family of ubiquitous membrane channels that regulate osmotically water flux in various tissues and sometimes the transport of small sol...
