Plasma Membrane Repair
Current Topics in Membranes Series

Lysosomes and Membrane Function, Volume 84 in the Current Topics in Membranes series, highlights new advances in the field, with this volume presenting interesting chapters on a variety of topics, including Parasite invasion and PMR, Actin dynamics and myosin contractility during plasma membrane repair: Does one ring really heal them all?, The role of intercellular signaling in cell membrane repair, Role of lipids in plasma membrane repair, Lysosomes and plasma membrane repair, Alveolar epithelial cell membrane integrity: a venerable target in the lung, Conservative evolution of natural versus artificial PEG-induced mechanisms of PMR in eukaryotes, and more.
