Regulated internalization of caveolae [PDF]
Caveolae are specialized invaginations of the plasma membrane which have been proposed to play a role in diverse cellular processes such as endocytosis and signal transduction.

Caveolae are one of the most abundant and striking features of the plasma membrane of many mammalian cell types. These surface pits have fascinated biologists since their discovery by the pioneers of electron microscopy in the middle of the last century, but we are only just starting to understand their multiple functions.

AbstractCaveolae are an abundant, but enigmatic, plasma membrane feature of vertebrate cells. In this brief commentary, the authors attempt to answer some key questions related to the formation and function of caveolae based on round‐table discussions at the first EMBO Workshop on Caveolae held in France in May 2019.

The plasma membrane is more than a simple delimitation of the boundary of the cell but is a dynamic multi-domain membrane system participating in numerous cellular processes. In many different cell types, the plasma membrane is heavily decorated with small pits of 60–80 nm in diameter ...

Caveolae: biochemical analysis [PDF]
Caveolae appear in a multitude of processes encompassing growth regulation and trafficking. We demonstrate the abundant presence of ESA/reggie-1/flotillin-2, ATP synthase beta subunit and annexin V in endothelial caveolae by immunopurification of caveolae from vascular endothelial membrane.

Glycolipid‐Enriched Caveolae and Caveolae‐Like Domains in the Nervous System [PDF]
Abstract: Recent years have been characterized by a booming interest in research on caveolae and caveolae‐like membrane domains. The interest in this subject grew further, when their involvement in fundamental membrane‐associated events, such as signal transmission and lipid/protein sorting, was postulated.

Revolutionizing Autoimmune Research: The Role of Caveolin-1. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Introduction Caveolins (Cav) include Cav‐1, Cav‐2, and Cav‐3, with Cav‐1 being the most studied due to its prominent role as a major component of plasma membrane caveolae. Cav‐1 is involved in a wide range of cellular functions and plays a key role in regulating signaling pathways related to immune responses and inflammation.

Genetically Encoded Biosensors Reveal PKA Hyperphosphorylation on the Myofilaments in Rabbit Heart Failure [PDF]
RATIONALE: In heart failure, myofilament proteins display abnormal phosphorylation, which contributes to contractile dysfunction. The mechanisms underlying the dysregulation of protein phosphorylation on myofilaments is not clear.

Characterization of Zika virus endocytic pathways in human glioblastoma cells [PDF]
Zika virus (ZIKV) infections can cause microcephaly and neurological disorders. However, the early infection events of ZIKV in neural cells remain to be characterized. Here, by using a combination of pharmacological and molecular approaches and the human
