  2. 1. Caveolae associated proteins and how they effect caveolae dynamics

    Author : Björn Morén; Richard Lundmark; Volker Haucke; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Caveolae; caveolin; EHD2; cavin; microdomain; microscopy; TIRF; AFM; medicinsk biokemi; Medical Biochemistry;

    Abstract : Caveolae are a type of invaginated membrane domain that has been shown to be involved in several disease states, including lipodystrophy, muscular dystrophies and cancer. Several of these diseases are caused by the lack of caveolae or caveolae-related signaling deficiencies in the tissues in which the caveolar domain are abundant such as lung, adipose, muscle and their related endothelial cells.

  4. 2. Integration of signalling in smooth muscle caveolae

    Author : Yulia Shakirova; Cellulär biomekanik; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Caveola; caveolin; detrusor; cavin; smooth muscle contractility; remodelling; NO; vascular dysfunction; smooth muscle; erectile dysfunction;

    Abstract : Caveolae and lipid rafts are plasma membrane microdomains that are considered to play a role in cellular signalling. Caveolins and cavins as well as cholesterol are required for the structure and function of caveolae. The papers summarized in this thesis examine the role of caveolae in smooth muscle function.

  6. 4. Regulation of assembly and cell surface dynamics of caveolae

    Author : Jagan Mohan; Richard Lundmark; Oleg Shupliakov; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; medicinsk biokemi; Medical Biochemistry;

    Abstract : A typical mammalian cell plasma membrane displays a high level of plasticity counter balanced with stability. The plasma membrane show various kinds of invaginations to meet physiological demands of the cells such as nutrient uptake, receptor signaling etc. An example of one such invagination observed in many cell types is “Caveola”.

  7. 5. Role of Caveolae and miRNAs in Regulation of Urinary Bladder Function

    Author : Mardjaneh Karbalaei; Cellulär biomekanik; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The urinary bladder is responsible for storage and expulsion of urine. Proper urination depends on an ability of the bladder to adjust to increasing volume and to contract during micturition. A disturbance of bladder contractility may affect continence. READ MORE
