摘要

Rapid repair of plasma membrane wounds is critical for cellular survival. Exocytic patches, membrane tension reduction and endocytosis were previously proposed to mediate resealing. A recent study implicating the ESCRT complex adds to the growing evidence that repair involves removal of damaged plasma membrane, and not simply patching the wound.
