Cancer cells are adept at escaping death. One of the ways in which cancer cells prevent death from fatal attacks by cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) is by efficiently repairing damage to their cell ...

A new model of the cellular response to plasma membrane damage. Within ~2 minutes of damage, Pkc1 proteins flood to the damage site to stabilize the puncture, and other proteins involved in the growth ...

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 ...

In the evolutionary history of life, the ability of a cell to separate its inner world from the external environment was an important turning point. The so-called plasma membrane lets cells control ...
