Evolutionary developmental biology, or Evo-Devo for short, has become an established field
that, broadly speaking, seeks to understand how changes in development drive major …

Mechanical forces (extracellular matrix stiffness, vascular shear stress, and muscle
stretching) reaching the plasma membrane (PM) determine cell behavior. Caveolae are PM …

In response to different types and intensities of mechanical force, cells modulate their
physical properties and adapt their plasma membrane (PM). Caveolae are PM nano …

The vertebrate body plan is characterized by the presence of a segmented spine along its
main axis. Here, we examine the current understanding of how the axial tissues that are …

Caveolae are an abundant and characteristic surface feature of many vertebrate cells. The
uniform shape of caveolae is characterized by a bulb with consistent curvature connected to …

Caveolae are abundant plasma membrane pits formed by the coordinated action of
peripheral and integral membrane proteins and membrane lipids. Here, we discuss recent …

Background Membrane-bound intracellular organelles have characteristic shapes attributed
to different local membrane curvatures, and these attributes are conserved across species …

Caveolae are plasma membrane invaginations with a distinct lipid composition. Membrane
lipids cooperate with the structural components of caveolae to generate a metastable …

The transient larva-bearing biphasic life cycle is the hallmark of many metazoan phyla, but
how metazoan larvae originated remains a major enigma in animal evolution. There are two …

Caveolae are invaginations of the plasma membrane that are remarkably abundant in
adipocytes, endothelial cells and muscle. Caveolae provide cells with resources for …
