Caveolae (latin for little caves) are small structures found on the surface of cells. They are responsible for the regulation of important metabolic pathway. As a consequence, they have a role in cancer, cancer, diabetes, and muscular dystrophies. This book analyzes the role and function of caveolae in caveolae / caveolin.
