What are the Implications of Lipid Raft Mediated Endocytosis in Disease?
Alterations in lipid raft composition and function have been implicated in various diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and neurodegenerative disorders. In cancer, changes in lipid raft composition can affect the internalization and signaling of oncogenic receptors, contributing to uncontrolled cell growth. In neurodegenerative diseases, disruptions in lipid raft-mediated processes can affect synaptic function and neuron survival.
