The multifunctional membrane glycoprotein CD36 is expressed in different types of cells and
plays a key regulatory role in cellular lipid metabolism, especially in cardiac muscle. CD36 …

Nanoparticles (NP) are attractive options for the therapeutic delivery of active
pharmaceutical drugs, proteins and nucleic acids into cells, tissues and organs. Research …

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) invariably exhibits inadequate O2 (hypoxia) and nutrient
supply. Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) mediates cascades of molecular events that enable …

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 …

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

Lipid droplets (LDs) are cellular organelles rich in neutral lipids such as triglycerides and
cholesterol esters that are coated by a phospholipid monolayer and associated proteins …

Caveolae are 70–100 nm diameter plasma membrane invaginations found in abundance in
adipocytes, endothelial cells, myocytes, and fibroblasts. Their bulb-shaped membrane …

Endocytosis is one of the major ways cells communicate with their environment. This
process is frequently hijacked by pathogens. Endocytosis also participates in the oncogenic …

Mid-infrared photothermal (MIP) microscopy is a valuable tool for sensitive and fast chemical
imaging with high spatial resolution beyond the mid-infrared diffraction limit. The highest …

Caveolae are small coated plasma membrane invaginations with diverse functions.
Caveolae undergo curvature changes. Yet, it is unclear which proteins regulate this process …
