Across complex, multi-time and-length scale biological systems, redundancy confers
robustness and resilience, enabling adaptation and increasing survival under dynamic …

The plasma membrane protects the eukaryotic cell from its surroundings and is essential for
cell viability; thus, it is crucial that membrane disruptions are repaired quickly to prevent …

Plasma membrane injury can cause lethal influx of calcium, but cells survive by mounting a
polarized repair response targeted to the wound site. Mitochondrial signaling within seconds …

Vascular endothelial cells are subject to mechanical stress resulting from blood flow and
interactions with leukocytes. Stress occurs at the apical, vessel-facing cell surface and leads …

The repair of wounded cell membranes is essential for cell survival. Upon wounding, actin
transiently accumulates at the wound site. The loss of actin accumulation leads to cell death …

Rho GTPases such as Rho, Rac, and Cdc42 are important regulators of the cortical
cytoskeleton in processes including cell division, locomotion, and repair. In these processes …

Delivery of nanomaterials into cells is of interest for fundamental cell biological research as
well as for therapeutic and diagnostic purposes. One way of doing so is by physically …

The cell membrane is frequently subjected to damage, either through physical or chemical
means. The swift restoration of the cell membrane's integrity is crucial to prevent the leakage …

Cells are remarkably resilient structures; they are able to recover from injuries to their
plasma membrane (PM) and cytoskeleton that would normally constitute existential threats …
