Abstract excerpt
Plasma membrane repair is an essential process for maintenance of homeostasis at the cellular and tissue levels, whereas compromised repair capacity contributes to degenerative human diseases. Our recent studies show that MG53 is essential for muscle membrane repair, and defects in MG53 function are linked to muscular dystrophy and cardiac dysfunction. Here we report that polymerase I and transcript release...
