Cavin-2 Functions as a Suppressive Regulator in TNF-induced Mesenchymal Stromal Cell Inflammation and Angiogenic Phenotypes. [PDF]
Tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α activation of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) enhances their tumour-suppressive properties and tumour-homing ability. The molecular actors involved are unknown. We found that TNF induced MSC migration and tubulogenesis which correlated with a dose-dependent increase in Cavin-1 and Cavin-3 transcript levels.

The Cavin-1/Caveolin-1 interaction attenuates BMP/Smad signaling in pulmonary hypertension by interfering with BMPR2/Caveolin-1 binding [PDF]
Caveolin-1 (CAV1) and Cavin-1 are components of caveolae, both of which interact with and influence the composition and stabilization of caveolae. CAV1 is associated with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).

Exosome-Based Cartilage-Targeted Delivery System: Strategies and Applications. [PDF]
Construction strategies and applications of cartilage‐targeting exosomes. With the ageing of the global population, cartilage‐related diseases, such as osteoarthritis (OA) and intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD), have increasingly become significant social problems threatening human health. Therefore, targeted therapy for cartilage is becoming more

Role of Caveolae family-related proteins in the development of breast cancer
Breast cancer has become the most significant malignant tumor threatening women’s lives. Caveolae are concave pits formed by invagination of the plasma membrane that participate in many biological functions of the cell membrane, such as endocytosis, cell
