Understanding human water turnover in times of water scarcity

Cell Metab. 2023 Feb 7;35(2):231-232. doi: 10.1016/j.cmet.2023.01.005.

Abstract

Tightly controlled water homeostasis in the human body is essential for optimal health. A recent study by Yamada and colleagues in Science shows that biological and environmental factors impact human water turnover, providing insight into potential water insecurity among specific populations in the context of global challenges, including climate change.
