Aquaporin-1 in the peritoneal membrane: implications for peritoneal dialysis and endothelial cell function.

abstract：BACKGROUND INFORMATION:The identification of a source of stem cells able to regenerate skeletal muscle was the goal of numerous studies with the aim to develop new therapeutic approaches for genetic muscle diseases or muscle injuries. A series of studies have demonstrated that stem cells derived from various tissues ma...
