Mitosis stimulation near wounds by temporary membrane lesions of increased permeability.
Ah and other positively charged organic receptors in cytosol are attracted to the membrane inner lipid layer if surface potential on part of their cell membrane is increased by potential from a nearby wound. At the membrane they form temporary transmembrane dipoles (lesions) of increased permeability that stimulate cell mitosis. This may be a normal mechanism assisting wound healing.
