BioID identifies proteins involved in the cell biology of caveolae.
PLoS ONE, 2018 The mechanisms controlling the abundance and sub-cellular distribution of caveolae are not well described. A first step towards determining such mechanisms would be identification of relevant proteins that interact with known components of caveolae. Here,

Coupling of melanocyte signaling and mechanics by caveolae is required for human skin pigmentation
Nature Communications, 2020 Caveolae are plasma membrane invaginations playing crucial functions, like signal transduction and mechanoprotection. Here, the authors show that caveolae contribute to skin pigmentation by integrating the biochemical and mechanical response of epidermal

Decreased expression of caveolin 1 in patients with systemic sclerosis: crucial role in the pathogenesis of tissue fibrosis. [PDF]
, 2008 OBJECTIVE: Recent studies have implicated caveolin 1 in the regulation of transforming growth factor beta (TGFbeta) downstream signaling. Given the crucial role of TGFbeta in the pathogenesis of systemic sclerosis (SSc), we sought to determine whether ...

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend The capillary–mitochondria–ion channel (CMIC) axis scales structural resources to match functional workload. (Left) In settings of restricted energetic capacity (e.g. cortical neurons), sparse capillary networks and modest mitochondrial pools set a lower energetic ceiling, sufficient to support phasic, low‐workload excitability. (

Biological Research, 2002 Caveolae are small, flask-shaped invaginations of the plasma membrane present on a large number of mammalian cells. Recent results obtained with knock-out mice for the gene caveolin-1 demonstrate that expression of caveolin-1 protein is essential for ...

Myocardin Family Members Drive Formation of Caveolae.
PLoS ONE, 2015 Caveolae are membrane organelles that play roles in glucose and lipid metabolism and in vascular function. Formation of caveolae requires caveolins and cavins.

Remodelling of human atrial K+ currents but not ion channel expression by chronic β-blockade [PDF]
, 2012 Chronic β-adrenoceptor antagonist (β-blocker) treatment in patients is associated with a potentially anti-arrhythmic prolongation of the atrial action potential duration (APD), which may involve remodelling of repolarising K+ currents.

Human placental exposure to pollutant nanoparticles: uptake, translocation and functional impact
The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Prenatal exposure to pollutant nanoparticles has been increasingly investigated due to concerns about their potential effects on placental function and pregnancy outcomes. Maternal inhalation of pollutant nanoparticles can result in a pro‐inflammatory response; particles can also translocate across the alveolus epithelial barrier

Spelunking for lipids in caveolae [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2017 Phosphatidylserine (PtdSer) and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns(4,5)P2) have been implicated in the maintenance of caveolae, but direct evidence that these lipids are required for normal caveolar structure and dynamics in living cells has been lacking. A new study by Fairn and colleagues uses sophisticated tools to perturb specific lipids
