Abstract

Vivo-morpholinos are artificial nucleic acids that can block the protein production from a specific gene. This study used Vivomorpholinos to try to ‘knockdown’ (reduce) the amount of aquaporin 1 water channel protein to be able to see differences in function with or without the aquaporin 1 protein.
