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.

Super-resolution analysis of PACSIN2 and EHD2 at caveolae.
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.

The use of inhibitors to study endocytic pathways of gene carriers: optimization and pitfalls [PDF]
Nonviral gene complexes can enter mammalian cells through different endocytic pathways. For efficient optimization of the gene carrier it is important to profile its cellular uptake, because this largely determines its intracellular processing and ...

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.

The Role of Glycocalyx and Caveolae in Vascular Homeostasis and Diseases
This review highlights recent findings about the role that endothelial glycocalyx and caveolae play in vascular homeostasis. We describe the structure, synthesis, and function of glycocalyx and caveolae in vascular cells under physiological and ...

Caveolin-1 expression and cavin stability regulate caveolae dynamics in adipocyte lipid store fluctuation [PDF]
Adipocytes specialized in the storage of energy as fat are among the most caveolae-enriched cell types. Loss of caveolae produces lipodystrophic diabetes in humans, which cannot be reversed by endothelial rescue of caveolin expression in mice, indicating

Plasma membrane remodeling determines adipocyte expansion and mechanical adaptability
Adipocytes 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 ...

Interactions between proteins bound to biomembranes
We study a physical model for the interaction between general inclusions bound to fluid membranes that possess finite tension, as well as the usual bending rigidity. We are motivated by an interest in proteins bound to cell membranes that apply forces to

Canine respiratory coronavirus employs caveolin-1-mediated pathway for internalization to HRT-18G cells [PDF]
Canine respiratory coronavirus (CRCoV), identified in 2003, is a member of the Coronaviridae family. The virus is a betacoronavirus and a close relative of human coronavirus OC43 and bovine coronavirus.

Nanoplastics: From tissue accumulation to cell translocation into Mytilus galloprovincialis hemocytes. resilience of immune cells exposed to nanoplastics and nanoplastics plus Vibrio splendidus combination [PDF]
Plastic litter is an issue of global concern. In this work Mytilus galloprovincialis was used to study the distribution and effects of polystyrene nanoplastics (PS NPs) of different sizes (50 nm, 100 nm and 1 mu m) on immune cells.
