Caveolin-1 and cellular processes

Background/Objectives: Claudin-18.2 (CLDN18.2) has recently emerged as a therapeutic target in gastric cancer; however, its prognostic relevance in the neoadjuvant setting remains insufficiently defined. We evaluated the clinical significance of CLDN18.2 and fibroblast growth factor receptor 2b (FGFR2b) expression in…

Background: Claudin-6 (CLDN6) is an oncofetal tight junction protein that has recently emerged as a promising therapeutic target in various solid tumors. Despite this potential, the clinical significance of CLDN6 expression in advanced-stage high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSC)—specifically its role in platinum…

Background: Inflammation plays a central role in the pathophysiology of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Raftlin, a lipid raft-associated inflammatory protein involved in immune signaling, has emerged as a potential biomarker in cardiovascular disease. This study aimed to evaluate circulating raftlin levels and RFTN1 rs…

OBJECTIVE: Non-muscle invasive bladder cancer is a common urological malignancy characterized by high recurrence and progression rates. There is a critical need for non-invasive biomarkers to support early detection and disease monitoring. Raftlin, a lipid raft-associated scaffold protein involved in immune regulation…

Background: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading global cause of mortality, with vascular calcification (VC) as a major predictor of adverse outcomes. Although vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are established contributors, the role of endothelial cells (ECs), particularly via the endothelial–mesenchymal…

Abstract Introduction Lipodystrophy is a rare and heterogeneous disorder characterized by selective loss or abnormal redistribution of adipose tissue, leading to metabolic complications such as insulin resistance, diabetes mellitus, hepatic steatosis, and dyslipidemia. Lipodystrophy is divided into 4 main groups: cong…

Background: Hypertension (HTN) is a multifactorial condition involving alterations in vascular signaling, inflammation, and oxidative stress. Women during the menopausal transition may experience increased cardiovascular risk due to hormonal fluctuations, highlighting the need for circulating biomarkers that may assis…

Autosomal recessive Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy type R28 (LGMDR28; OMIM #620375) is one of the most recently identified subtypes of recessive LGMD. To date, 17 affected individuals from eight unrelated families have been reported to harbor biallelic variants in the HMGCR gene. Here, we report eleven individuals fro…

Plazma membranı, hücrelerin çevresiyle olan etkileşimlerini düzenleyen ve lipit çift tabaka organizasyonu aracılığıyla hücresel sinyal iletimi, uyarılabilirlik ve homeostazın sürdürülmesinde merkezi rol oynayan dinamik bir yapıdır. Kolesterol, fosfolipitler, sfingolipitler ve glikolipitlerden oluşan membran lipit bile…

Background/Objectives: Claudin 18.2 (CLDN18.2) has emerged as a clinically actionable therapeutic target in gastrointestinal malignancies; however, its expression profile and prognostic significance in cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) remain incompletely characterized. This study investigated CLDN18.2 expression in CCA and ev…

Yaşlanma, moleküler ve hücresel düzeyde biriken hasarın organizmanın homeostatik kapasitesini azaltmasıyla karakterize karmaşık bir süreçtir. Bu süreçte karaciğer, metabolizma, detoksifikasyon ve immün yanıtın düzenlenmesindeki merkezi rolü nedeniyle sistemik yaşlanmanın önemli bir belirleyicisi olarak öne çıkmaktadır…
