Abstract

The ability to repair plasma membrane damage is critical to all eukaryotic cells. Meng et al. demonstrate that damage-induced F-actin and ESCRT III signals trigger sequential recruitment of the fusogens syntaxin-2 and EFF-1 to facilitate repair of the plasma membrane in C. elegans skin cells.
