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.

Cancer Cell Fusion: Mechanisms Slowly Unravel [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2016 Although molecular mechanisms and signaling pathways driving invasion and metastasis have been studied for many years, the origin of the population of metastatic cells within the primary tumor is still not well understood.

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.

Crystal Structure of the Pre-fusion Nipah Virus Fusion Glycoprotein Reveals a Novel Hexamer-of-Trimers Assembly. [PDF]
, 2015 Nipah virus (NiV) is a paramyxovirus that infects host cells through the coordinated efforts of two envelope glycoproteins. The G glycoprotein attaches to cell receptors, triggering the fusion (F) glycoprotein to execute membrane fusion.
