Plasma membrane damage removal by F-actin-mediated shedding from repurposed filopodia

S. K. Mageswaran, W. Y. Yang, Y. Chakrabarty, C. M. Oikonomou, G. J. Jensen

The paper uses electron cryotomography to show that filopodia-like protrusions mediate plasma membrane damage repair through F-actin dynamics and ESCRT components.
