Tendon is covered by a basement membrane epithelium that is required for cell retention and the prevention of adhesion formation [PDF]
The ability of tendons to glide smoothly during muscle contraction is impaired after injury by fibrous adhesions that form between the damaged tendon surface and surrounding tissues. To understand how adhesions form we incubated excised tendons in fibrin

Protocol to Induce Wounding and Measure Membrane Repair in Caenorhabditis elegans Epidermis
Summary: Efficient membrane repair after injury is essential for cell and animal survival. Caenorhabditis elegans epidermal cell hpy7 has emerged as a powerful genetic system to investigate the molecular mechanism of membrane repair in vivo.

Cell Membrane Repair as a Mechanism for Ischemic Preconditioning? [PDF]
Since its original description nearly 25 years ago, the phenomenon of ischemic preconditioning (IPC) continues to captivate a great amount of research interest. The ability to render the myocardium resistant to lethal ischemia/reperfusion injury by preconditioning it with a brief episode of ischemia and reperfusion1 has remained largely a laboratory ...

Attaching and effacing Escherichia coli downregulate DNA mismatch repair protein in vitro and are associated with colorectal adenocarcinomas in humans [PDF]
Background: Mucosa-associated Escherichia coli are frequently found in the colonic mucosa of patients with colorectal adenocarcinoma, but rarely in healthy controls. Chronic mucosal E. coli infection has therefore been linked to colonic tumourigenesis. E.

Peroxiredoxin 6 in the repair of peroxidized cell membranes and cell signaling [PDF]
Peroxiredoxin 6 represents a widely distributed group of peroxiredoxins that contain a single conserved cysteine in the protein monomer (1-cys Prdx). The cys when oxidized to the sulfenic form is reduced with glutathione (GSH) catalyzed by the π isoform of GSH-S-transferase.

Dealing with damage: Plasma membrane repair mechanisms. [PDF]
Eukaryotic cells have developed repair mechanisms, which allow them to reseal their membrane in order to prevent the efflux of cytoplasmic constituents and the uncontrolled influx of calcium. After injury, the Ca(2+)-concentration gradient fulfils a dual
