It only takes a few seconds until proteins from the inside of the injured cell form a repair patch that finally closes the hole in the membrane. The researchers have now demonstrated that ...

A class of drugs widely used to treat osteoporosis appears to impede a cell's ability to repair a protective outer membrane that helps determine what enters and exits, researchers report.

Such processes are essential for the repair of damaged cell envelopes or for the targeted release of membrane vesicles, which ensure the transport of substances across the membrane. "We can ...

It only takes a few seconds until proteins from the inside of the injured cell form a repair patch that finally closes the hole in the membrane. The researchers at KIT now demonstrated that ...

Dynamic membrane repair and remodelling is an elemental process that maintains cell integrity and mediates efficient cellular function. Here we report that MG53, a muscle-specific tripartite motif ...

The researchers found that it only takes a few seconds until proteins from the inside of the injured cell form a repair patch that finally closes the hole in the membrane. Moreover, the research ...

"The natural resealing of the membrane occurs very fast - as it needs to do in order to stop efflux of cell cytoplasm and influx of calcium ions, and for the repair process to be efficient. Studying ...

These dysferlinopathic myoblasts undergo normal differentiation but have a deficit in their ability to repair focal injury to their cell membrane. Imaging cells undergoing repair showed that ...

Active tissues, like a beating heart or contracting muscle, need mechanisms to repair the inevitable cell membrane tears caused by physical stress and strain. In 2003, Campbell and his colleagues ...

With vivid live-cell videographic micro-imagery, a new study published in the journal Science “ESCRT-mediated membrane repair protects tumor-derived cells against T cell attack“, uncovers ...
