Nanofabricated Biomaterials Model Tumor Extracellular Matrix Topography

open access: yesAdvanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
The unique structure and composition of the tumor microenvironment and its associated extracellular matrix (ECM) exert profound effects on cancer cell behavior that are difficult to model in vitro. This perspective discusses the utility of nanofabricated biosubstrates, such as the novel collagen‐coated nanogrooved array, for recapitulating the ...

Caveolin-1 and Caveolin-2 Can Be Antagonistic Partners in Inflammation and Beyond

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2017
Caveolins, encoded by the CAV gene family, are the main protein components of caveolae. In most tissues, caveolin-1 (Cav-1) and caveolin-2 (Cav-2) are co-expressed, and Cav-2 targeting to caveolae depends on the formation of heterooligomers with Cav-1 ...

Membrane Compartmentalization and Scaffold Proteins in Leukocyte Migration

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020
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 ...

Caveolins in Cancer Pathogenesis, Prevention and Therapy

open access: yes, 2012
For more than a decade, caveolin proteins have attracted a lot of attention in the field of cancer research. Additional roles besides maintaining the structural integrity of caveolae (meaning "little caves" in latin) have been attributed to these complex

Rewriting Tumor Immunity With Bacterial Membrane Vesicles: A Versatile and Potent Therapeutic Strategy

open access: yesAdvanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Bacterial membrane vesicles (BMVs) emerge as promising platforms for cancer immunotherapy owing to their intrinsic adjuvant properties and tunable cargo delivery capabilities. Their ability to modulate the tumor microenvironment, enhance antitumor immune responses, and support personalized therapeutic strategies highlights their growing potential as ...

A nanoplatform that induces dual‐amino acid deprivation to reverse tumor immunosuppression and enhance metabolic immunotherapy

open access: yesBMEMat, EarlyView.
ZIF‐8‐based nanoparticles co‐delivering CB‐839 (glutaminase inhibitor) and 1‐MT (IDO1 inhibitor), dual‐targeting glutamine/tryptophan metabolism to induce immunogenic cell death, activate STING, block kynurenine production, reverse immunosuppression, and enhance cancer immunotherapy to suppress primary/distant tumors.

Pathophysiological Role of Caveolae in Hypertension

open access: yesFrontiers in Medicine, 2019
Caveolae, flask-shaped cholesterol-, and glycosphingolipid-rich membrane microdomains, contain caveolin 1, 2, 3 and several structural proteins, in particular Cavin 1–4, EHD2, pacsin2, and dynamin 2.

Transfersomes with core and surface‐loaded NF‐κB p65 siRNA for enhanced transdermal transfection and effective treatment of psoriasis

open access: yesBMEMat, EarlyView.
TCPL, a transfersome with Tween 80 and PEI, enables efficient transdermal siNF‐κB delivery, resolving PEI's toxicity issue. It promotes lysosomal escape and effective transfection, silences NF‐κB, modulates immunity, and inhibits angiogenesis, alleviating psoriasis. With good biocompatibility, TCPL holds strong clinical translation potential. Schematic

Caveolin‐1 enriched apoptotic bodies derived from oral hard palate orchestrate bone remodeling to treat heterotopic ossification

open access: yesBMEMat, EarlyView.
Downregulated CAV1 in HO is restored via apoptotic bodies from PMSCs, which reprogram bone remodeling by delivering CAV1 to target cells, highlighting the therapeutic role of EV subtypes in heterotopic ossification. Abstract Heterotopic ossification (HO) is a pathological process characterized by ectopic bone formation in non‐osseous tissues, with an ...

Caveolae and Caveolins in the Respiratory System

open access: yes, 2008
Caveolae are flask-shaped invaginations of the plasma membrane that are present in most structural cells. They owe their characteristic shape to complexes of unique proteins, the caveolins, which indirectly tether cholesterol and sphingolipid-enriched ...
