Critical role of aquaporin-4 (AQP4) in astrocytic Ca(2+) signaling events elicited by cerebral edema

Aquaporin-4 (AQP4) is a primary influx route for water during brain edema formation. Here, we provide evidence that brain swelling triggers Ca(2+) signaling in astrocytes and that deletion of the Aqp4 gene markedly interferes with these events. Using in vivo two-photon imaging, we show that hypoosmo...
