Intermittent Hypoxia Mediates Caveolae Disassembly That Parallels Insulin Resistance Development
Frontiers in Physiology, 2020 Repetitive complete or incomplete pharyngeal collapses are leading to chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH), a hallmark feature of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) syndrome responsible for many metabolic disorders.

Glycolipid‐Enriched Caveolae and Caveolae‐Like Domains in the Nervous System [PDF]
Journal of Neurochemistry, 1999 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.

Caveolae structure and function [PDF]
Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, 2008 Studies on the structure and function of caveolae have revealed how this versatile subcellular organelle can influence numerous signalling pathways. This brief review will discuss a few of the key features of caveolae as it relates to signalling and disease processes.

Regulated internalization of caveolae. [PDF]
The Journal of cell biology, 1994 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. We have developed an assay to determine the fraction of internal versus plasma membrane caveolae. The GPI-anchored protein, alkaline phosphatase, was clustered in caveolae after

Caveolae as Potential Hijackable Gates in Cell Communication
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020 Caveolae are membrane microdomains described in many cell types involved in endocytocis, transcytosis, cell signaling, mechanotransduction, and aging. They are found at the interface with the extracellular environment and are structured by caveolin and ...

Super-resolution analysis of PACSIN2 and EHD2 at caveolae.
PLoS ONE, 2022 Caveolae are plasma membrane invaginations that play important roles in both endocytosis and membrane tension buffering. Typical caveolae have invaginated structures with a high-density caveolin assembly.

Plasma membrane remodeling determines adipocyte expansion and mechanical adaptability
Nature CommunicationsAdipocytes expand massively to accommodate excess energy stores and protect the organism from lipotoxicity. Adipose tissue expandability is at the center of disorders such as obesity and lipodystrophy; however, little is known about the relevance of ...
