The four contributions by Ishibashi et al., Klussmann et al., Zeuthen and Larsen et al. summarize the current knowledge on the molecular mechanisms underlying the short and long term regulation of water channels (AQPs) in principal cells, fluid transport by leaky epithelia and cotransporters of the symport type which behave as molecular water pumps.
