Therefore, the increase of AQP4 in the CSF in congenital hydrocephalus could be due to the fact that AQP4 passes from the parenchyma to the CSF and this AQP4 movement may be a consequence of ependyma denudation.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/2045-8118-10-18","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,5,9]],"date-time":"2013-05-09T14:23:19Z","timestamp":1368109399000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":37,"title":["Aquaporin-4 expression in the cerebrospinal fluid in congenital human hydrocephalus"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Leandro","family":"Casta\u00f1eyra-Ruiz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ibrahim","family":"Gonz\u00e1lez-Marrero","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Juan M","family":"Gonz\u00e1lez-Toledo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Agustin","family":"Casta\u00f1eyra-Ruiz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"H\u00e9ctor","family":"de Paz-Carmona","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Agust\u00edn","family":"Casta\u00f1eyra-Perdomo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Emilia M","family":"Carmona-Calero","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,5,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"67_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2993","DOI":"10.1242\/jcs.108.9.2993","volume":"108","author":"A Frigeri","year":"1995","unstructured":"Frigeri A, Gropper MA, Umenishi F, Kawashima M, Brown D, Verkman AS: Localization of MIWC and GLIP water channel homologs in neuromuscular, epithelial and glandular tissues.
