Pro-ferroptotic lipids as key control points for caveola formation and disassembly.
Journal Article Cell Rep · June 24, 2025 Caveolae are specialized plasma membrane domains with a unique lipid composition. Lipid peroxidation has recently been implicated in triggering caveola disassembly, releasing cavin proteins to regulate oxidative-stress-associated cellular processes, partic ...
