Caveolin-1 is the main structural protein of caveolae, small membrane invaginations involved in signal transduction and mechanoprotection. Here, we generated cav1-KO zebrafish lacking Cav1 and caveolae, and investigated the impact of this loss on adult heart function and response to cryoinjury. We found that cardiac function was impaired in adult cav1-KO fish, which showed a significantly decreased ejection fraction and heart rate. Using atomic force microscopy, we detected an increase in the stiffness of epicardial cells and cells of the cortical zone lacking Cav1/caveolae. This loss of cardiac elasticity might explain the decreased cardiac contraction and function. Surprisingly, cav1-KO mutants were able to regenerate their heart after a cryoinjury but showed a transient decrease in cardiomyocyte proliferation.

Article Synopsis
- Adipose dystrophy (lipodystrophy) involves the loss of fat tissue, potentially causing fat to accumulate in other body areas and leading to metabolic issues like insulin resistance and liver disease.
- The condition is linked to several gene mutations and can be either congenital or acquired, presenting in different forms.
- This report details a rare case of localized lipodystrophy with normal development and partial fat atrophy, aimed at improving clinicians' knowledge of this uncommon disease.

The most common trigger of sepsis and septic shock is bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Endothelial cells are among the first to encounter LPS directly. Generally, their function is closely linked to active endothelial NO Synthase (eNOS), which is significantly reduced under septic conditions.

Histopathologically, oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) consists of well-defined interfaces with adjacent non-cancerous epithelium. Previously, we found that SCC tissues expressed higher levels of specific proteins at this interface. Ladinin-1 (LAD1) is one of the specific molecules that has increased expressions in cancer fronts; however, its function in OSCC is unknown.

The main symptom of acute glaucoma is acute ocular hypertension (AOH), which leads to the death of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and permanent loss of vision. However, effective treatments for these conditions are lacking. This study aimed to identify major regulators and overall protein changes involved in AOH-induced RGC death.

The blood-nerve-barrier (BNB) that regulates peripheral nerve homeostasis is formed by endoneurial capillaries and perineurial cells surrounding the Schwann cell (SC)-rich endoneurium. Barrier dysfunction is common in human tumorigenesis, including in some nerve tumors. We identify barrier disruption in human deficient neurofibromas, which were characterized by reduced perineurial cell glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) expression and increased endoneurial fibrin(ogen) deposition.
