Abstract
Vivo-morpholinos are artificial nucleic acids that can block the protein production from a particular gene. Direct intestinal infusions of vivo-morpholinos were used to ‘knockdown’ (reduce) the amount of aquaporin 1 water channel protein to be able to see differences in function with or without the protein.
