Evaluation of aquaporins in the cerebrospinal fluid in patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus
(PLOS, 2021)
Brain aquaporin 1 (AQP1) and AQP4 are involved in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) homeostasis and might participate in the origin of hydrocephalus. Studies have shown alterations of perivascular AQP4 expression in idiopathic ...
