“…Two decades of research has subsequently revealed that, in more than 20 preparations studied to date, all eukaryotic cells (including neurons) seal plasmalemmal damage by Ca 2+ ‐dependent production of vesicles that form a plug, often at a partially constricted cut end (Krause et al, ; Steinhardt et al, ; Bi et al, ; Eddleman et al, ; Bittner and Fishman, ; Detrait et al, ; Yoo et al, ; Nguyen et al, ; McNeil, ; Spaeth et al, ; Zuzek et al, ; Jimenez et al, ). Vesicles from nearby intact membrane (Eddleman et al, ), lysosomes (Reddy et al, ), and/or myelin delaminations (Ballinger et al, ) migrate, accumulate, and pack tightly at the damage site to seal small holes within seconds to minutes and to seal complete axonal transections within 5–20 min (Fig.…”
