Exploring the Link Between CAV1 and Lipedema
- This episode discusses an article titled “The MMP14–caveolin axis and its potential relevance for lipoedema,” published in Nature Reviews Endocrinology in August 2020 by research groups in Germany and Texas.
- The study aims to uncover the root cause of lipedema and suggests a potential mechanism involving the dysregulation of the CAV1 protein and the MMP14 enzyme.
- This research provides insights into how these molecular players may explain the primary features of lipedema.
