## Abstract Aquaporin‐4 (AQP4) is located on astrocyte endfeet that face blood vessels in the brain and in the pia. It is thought to play a crucial role in the development of brain edema. To confirm the notion that sex steroids and dexamethasone influence brain edema through AQP4 regulation, we inv
## Abstract HIV encephalitis (HIVE), the pathologic correlate of HIV‐associated dementia (HAD) is characterized by astrogliosis, cytokine/chemokine dysregulation, and neuronal degeneration. Increasing evidence suggests that inflammation is actively involved in the pathogenesis of HAD. In fact, the
Aquaporin 4 (AQP4) is a predominant water channel protein in mammalian brains, localized in the astrocyte plasma membrane. The regulation of AQP4 is believed to be important for the homeostasis of water in the brain, but the AQP4 regulatory mechanisms are not yet known. In this study, we investigate
