Aquaporins are proteins that regulate the flow of water in and out of cells. These proteins have been found to play a role in both cancer and type 2 diabetes. Now, a research group at Lund University has succeeded in finding a drug candidate that binds to the protein, something that has been shown to affect the growth capability of leukemia cells. The study is published in PNAS. Aquaporins are wat
