title: Mitosis stimulation near wounds by temporary membrane lesions of increased permeability.
abstract: 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.
