Plasma membrane repair is essential for eukaryotic cell life and is triggered by the influx of calcium through membrane wounds. Repair consists of sequential steps, with closure of the membrane hole being the key event that allows the cell to recover, thus identifying the kinetics of hole closure as important for clarifying repair mechanisms and as a quantitative handle on repair efficiency. We implement calcium imaging in MCF7 breast carcinoma cells subject to laser damage, coupled with a model ...[more]
