Rationale: An impairment of plasma membrane repair has been implicated in various diseases such as muscular dystrophy and ischemia/reperfusion injury. MOTS-c, a short peptide encoded by mitochondria, has been shown to pass through the plasma membrane into the bloodstream. This study determined whether this biological behavior was involved in membrane repair and its underlying mechanism.
