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 ...

Journal of Cell Science, 2010 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 ...
