"Alternative" endocytic mechanisms exploited by pathogens: new avenues for therapeutic delivery? [PDF]
Some pathogens utilize unique routes to enter cells that may evade the intracellular barriers encountered by the typical clathrin-mediated endocytic pathway.

Mutational analysis of caveolin‐induced vesicle formation [PDF]
Caveolae are vesicular organelles with a characteristic uniform diameter in the range of 50–100 nm. Although recombinant expression of caveolin‐1 is sufficient to drive caveolae formation, it remains unknown what controls the uniform diameter of these organelles.

Caveolin-1 expression in different types of psoriatic lesions: Analysis of 66 cases
Background: Caveolin-1 is a key structural and functional protein. Caveolin-1 is known to modulate multiple signal-transducing pathways involved in cell differentiation and proliferation. Psoriasis is viewed as a multifactorial pathology characterized by

Membrane Compartmentalization and Scaffold Proteins in Leukocyte Migration
Leukocyte migration across vessels into and within peripheral and lymphoid tissues is essential for host defense against invading pathogens. Leukocytes are specialized in sensing a variety of guidance cues and to integrate environmental stimuli to ...

Caveolae are abundant flask-shaped invaginations of plasma membranes that buffer membrane tension through their deformation. Few quantitative studies on the deformation of caveolae have been reported.

Caveolin-1 deficiency induces a MEK-ERK1/2-Snail-1-dependent epithelial-mesenchymal transition and fibrosis during peritoneal dialysis [PDF]
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a form of renal replacement therapy whose repeated use can alter dialytic function through induction of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and fibrosis, eventually leading to PD discontinuation. The peritoneum from Cav1-/-

Phenotypic characterization of human prostatic stromal cells in primary cultures derived from human tissue samples [PDF]
Emerging evidence has shown that the tumor microenvironment plays a crucial role in prostate cancer (PCa) development and progression. However, the mechanism(s) through which stromal cells regulate epithelial cells and the differences among prostatic ...

Getting rid of caveolins: Phenotypes of caveolin-deficient animals
The elucidation of the role of caveolae has been the topic of many investigations which were greatly enhanced after the discovery of caveolin, the protein marker of these flask-shaped plasma membrane invaginations. The generation of mice deficient in the various caveolin genes (cav-1, cav-2 and cav-3) has provided physiological models to unravel the ...
