2. Aquaporins - Novel approaches to old problems
Abstract : As all life on this planet evolves around water, it is important for our bodies to be able to regulate it. This may be done passively, but just like with water in the ocean, if we were to rely solely on passive transport (such as evaporation), the flow of water would be too slow for biological functions to uphold the homeostasis that is so important for us to survive.

3. Structural studies of aquporins in human kidney and plant
Abstract : Membrane proteins are key players in our biology and are links between the inside and the outside of the cell, allowing for signal transduction and transport of molecules. Aquaporins are membrane protein channels that allow water to pass in and out of the cell. Since all life depend on water, their function is vital for any type of organism. READ MORE

5. The effects of some peptide hormones on osteoblast-like cells : with specific focus on oxytocin and vasopressin
Abstract : The nonapeptides oxytocin (OXT) and vasopressin (AVP) are mainly produced in the hypothalamus and released into the circulation through the neurohypophysis. Recently, an OXT-receptor was demonstrated in human osteoblast-like (hOB) cells, and it has been suggested that patients with central diabetes insipidus (deficiency of AVP) have decreased bone mass.
