Cell repair: Revisiting the patch hypothesis

Communicative & Integrative Biology, 2016
Plasma membrane damage elicits a complex and dynamic cellular response. A vital component of this response, membrane resealing, is thought to arise from fusion of intracellular membranous compartments to form a temporary, impermeant patch at the site of ...

Studies on muscular dystrophy associated genes [PDF]

, 2007
Muscular dystrophy is a collective group of genetic disorder that results in progressive wasting of skeletal muscle. Dysferlin, the gene responsible for Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy type 2B (LGMD2B) and Miyoshi Myopathy (MM) was found to be a member of

Cell wounding activates phospholipase D in primary mouse keratinocytes

Journal of Lipid Research, 2013
Plasma membrane disruptions occur in mechanically active tissues such as the epidermis and can lead to cell death if the damage remains unrepaired. Repair occurs through fusion of vesicle patches to the damaged membrane region. The enzyme phospholipase D

Biomaterial‐Integrated Electroporation for Therapeutic Delivery: From Gene Editing to Tumor Ablation and Immune Modulation

Small, EarlyView.
Biomaterial‐integrated electroporation establishes a programmable therapeutic interface that coordinates electric‐field modulation, transient or irreversible membrane permeabilization, cargo stabilization, and immune remodeling. This Review highlights how nanocarriers, hydrogels, and bioelectronic interfaces expand electroporation from conventional ...

Annexin-A6 in Membrane Repair of Human Skeletal Muscle Cell: A Role in the Cap Subdomain [PDF]

, 2020
Defects in membrane repair contribute to the development of some muscular dystrophies, highlighting the importance to decipher the membrane repair mechanisms in human skeletal muscle. In murine myofibers, the formation of a cap subdomain composed notably

Shear‐Responsive Red Blood Cell Carriers for Targeted Drug Delivery to Constricted Arteries

Small, EarlyView.
Red blood cells are harnessed as mechanoresponsive carriers that exploit the elevated shear stress of stenotic arteries to transiently open membrane pores and release encapsulated therapeutics selectively at sites of arterial narrowing. By coupling vascular hemodynamics with RBC membrane mechanics, a hemodynamically activated platform for localized ...

Junctional Adhesion Molecule‐A (JAM‐A) Associates With High‐Risk Disease in Multiple Myeloma Patients and a Structure‐Based Rationally‐Designed Peptide Inhibitor Attenuates Tumorigenic Features In Vitro and In Vivo

European Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Multiple myeloma (MM) is an incurable malignancy of terminally‐differentiated plasma cells that represents a major clinical challenge despite unprecedented therapeutic advances, particularly for patients with cytogenetically‐defined high‐risk MM (HR‐MM).

Ultrashort electric pulse induced changes in cellular dielectric properties [PDF]

, 2007
The interaction of nanosecond duration pulsed electric fields (nsPEFs) with biological cells, and the models describing this behavior, depend critically on the electrical properties of the cells being pulsed.

Annexins: players of single cell wound healing and regeneration

Communicative & Integrative Biology, 2019
Cell life is defined by a thin 4 nm plasma membrane, which separates the interior of a cell from its environment. Thus, disruption of the plasma membrane poses a critical risk to cells, which requires immediate repair to avoid uncontrolled osmotic lysis ...
