Severe vitamin E deficiency results in lethal myopathy in animal models. Membrane repair is an important myocyte response to plasma membrane disruption injury as when repair fails, myocytes die and ...

Ca²⁺ influx through plasma membrane lesions triggers a rapid repair process that was previously shown to require the exocytosis of lysosomal organelles (Reddy, A., E. Caler, and N. Andrews. 2001. Cell ...

Researchers have been focusing on non-thermal atmospheric-pressure plasma as a treatment method that can shorten recovery times, such as for tendon repair. Using a helium plasma jet, they demonstrated ...

Plasma membrane resealing is a Ca2+-dependent process that involves the exocytosis of intracellular vesicles next to the wound site. Recent studies revealed that conventional lysosomes behave as ...

Via Reuters comes the news that Samsung, one of the last major manufacturers of plasma TV screens, will shut down production by the end of November. Panasonic had already stopped making plasma panels, ...
