Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Cells in active tissues often experience plasma membrane disruptions that are quickly repaired. This study details methods to identify these "wounded" cells, assessing the frequency and extent of cellular damage in cultures and tissues.

  • To enable quantification of cellular wounding frequency and extent.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing techniques to detect and quantify plasma membrane integrity disruptions.
  • Applying methods to identify minority cell populations exhibiting wounding.

Main Results:

  • Successful identification of 'wounded' cells in various cellular contexts.
  • Quantification of the prevalence and severity of cellular membrane damage.
