What are the Pathological Implications of Dysregulated Caveolin Mediated Endocytosis?

Dysregulation of caveolin-mediated endocytosis has been implicated in various diseases including:
- Cancer: Altered caveolin expression can affect cell signaling pathways involved in tumor growth and metastasis.
- Cardiovascular Diseases: Abnormal caveolae function can contribute to endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerosis.
- Muscular Dystrophies: Mutations in caveolin-3 are associated with certain types of muscular dystrophies.
