  • The frontier (retirees riding lawnmowers on one side, loggers wielding chainsaws on the other) is continually in flux.

  • The TEA block of AQP1-mediated water flux for all data combined was 34.

  • Although several laboratories reported that crosslinking CD5 on the surface augments T cells signaling by inducing calcium flux and enhancing mitogenic response [ 14, 15, 16], recent studies using CD5-deficient mice indicate that CD5 may be more important as a negative modulator of TCR and BCR signal transduction [ 17, 18].

  • Evaporation is hormonally regulated through stomata, which adjust in response to an imbalance between water flux in the vascular system and the rate of transpiration.

  • Tetraethylammonium is known as a pore-occluding blocker of voltage-gated potassium channels [ 1 ] , but it also blocks other cationic channels such as calcium-dependent K +channels [ 2 3 ] and the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor [ 4 ] . TEA at 0.1 to 10 mM also inhibits osmotic water flux through human AQP1 channels expressed in Xenopus oocytes, decreasing the net swelling rate in hypotonic saline by 30-40% as compared to AQP1-expressing oocytes not treated with TEA [ 5 ] . This blocking effect on osmotic water flux was demonstrated to involve AQP1 channels specifically by using site-directed mutagenesis (tyrosine 186 to phenylalanine) to generate a Y186F AQP1 channel that is insensitive to block by TEA, but retains sensitivity to block by mercury.
