WHI-2 Regulates Intercellular Communication via a MAP Kinase Signaling Complex [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 The formation of the fungal mycelial network is facilitated by somatic cell fusion of germinating asexual spores (or germlings). Neurospora crassa germlings in close proximity display chemotropic growth that is dependent upon an intracellular network of ...

Monocyte-Macrophage Lineage Cell Fusion. [PDF]
Int J Mol Sci, 2022 Cell fusion (fusogenesis) occurs in natural and pathological conditions in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Cells of monocyte–macrophage lineage are highly fusogenic.

Requirement of myomaker-mediated stem cell fusion for skeletal muscle hypertrophy
eLife, 2017 Fusion of skeletal muscle stem/progenitor cells is required for proper development and regeneration, however the significance of this process during adult muscle hypertrophy has not been explored.

The Zinc Finger Protein Zfp2 Regulates Cell–Cell Fusion and Virulence in Cryptococcus neoformans [PDF]
Journal of FungiCryptococcus neoformans is a fungal pathogen commonly found in the environment. It mainly infects immunocompromised individuals, causing cryptococcal pneumonia and meningitis, which result in hundreds of thousands of deaths each year.

Separate, separated, and together: the transcriptional program of the Clostridium acetobutylicum-Clostridium ljungdahlii syntrophy leading to interspecies cell fusion [PDF]
mSystemsSyntrophic cocultures (hitherto assumed to be commensalistic) of Clostridium acetobutylicum and Clostridium ljungdahlii, whereby CO2 and H2 produced by the former feed the latter, result in interspecies cell fusion involving large-scale exchange of ...

Cell fusion as a driver of metastasis: re-evaluating an old hypothesis in the age of cancer heterogeneity [PDF]
Frontiers in ImmunologyNumerous studies have investigated the molecular mechanisms and signalling pathways underlying cancer metastasis, as there is still no effective treatment for this terminal stage of the disease.

Functional coupling between TRPV4 channel and TMEM16F modulates human trophoblast fusion
eLife, 2022 TMEM16F, a Ca2+-activated phospholipid scramblase (CaPLSase), is critical for placental trophoblast syncytialization, HIV infection, and SARS-CoV2-mediated syncytialization, however, how TMEM16F is activated during cell fusion is unclear.

Viruses, 2023 Human endogenous retrovirus type W (HERV-W) is expressed in various cancers. We previously developed an adenovirus-vectored cancer vaccine targeting HERV-W by encoding an assembled HERV-W group-specific antigen sequence and the HERV-W envelope sequence ...
