The high water transport rate across cell membranes is due\nto a type of water channel protein\, aquaporin. The unique select ivity\,\nhigh water transport capability\, and low activation energy of\na quaporins have garnered strong scientific interests with many studies\ncon centrating on the fabrication of biomimetic membranes based on the\nrecons titution of aquaporins into self-assembled amphiphilic lipid or\npolymer b ilayers.\n DTSTAMP:20250524T102536Z END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
