Aquaporin-1 Facilitates Transmesothelial Water Permeability: In Vitro and Ex Vivo Evidence and Possible Implications in Peritoneal Dialysis

We previously showed that mesothelial cells in human peritoneum express the water channel aquaporin 1 (AQP1) at the plasma membrane, suggesting that, although in a non-physiological context, it may facilitate osmotic water exchange during peritoneal dialysis (PD). According to the three-pore model t...
