The discovery, published in the journal Immunity, identifies a new therapeutic route for conditions associated with obesity and metabolic syndrome, including cardiovascular disease

Cells use two mechanisms to detect force: one gradual and progressive mediated by newly identified large membrane depressions called dolines (left); the other abrupt, activated above a certain threshold, and mediated by minute membrane invaginations called caveolae (right).

A study published in Nature Cell Biology confirms that caveolae are essential for the mechanical responses of tissues subject to large mechanical forces (such as muscle, heart, blood vessels, and fat), whereas larger membrane depressions (termed 'dolines') are important for the response to weak or medium-strength forces

Fibroblasto embrionario murino Cav1KO (izquierda, sin caveolas) muestra un mayor reclutamiento de integrina beta 1 activa (magenta) en torno a bolitas recubiertas con fibronectina, en comparación con un fibroblasto embrionario murino Cav1WT (derecha, con caveolas).

A new study published in eLife shows that small cups or nanofolds on the cell membrane called caveolae, by limiting abrupt changes in membrane tension, regulate the number and activity of mechanical microsensors on the cell surface called integrins

Imagen obtenida por microscopía confocal en la que se observa el borde de la cicatriz glial producida tras el infarto cerebral, lo cual dificulta la posterior regeneración de la zona. Este evento es atenuado en gran medida a través del tratamiento con metoprolol intravenoso pre-reperfusión.
