Generating Heterokaryotic Cells via Bacterial Cell-Cell Fusion [PDF]

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum, 2022
Fusion of cells is an important and common biological process that leads to the mixing of cellular contents and the formation of multinuclear cells. Cell fusion occurs when distinct membranes are brought into proximity of one another and merge to become ...

Chemotropism and Cell-Cell Fusion in Fungi. [PDF]

open access: yesMicrobiol Mol Biol Rev, 2022
Fungi exhibit an enormous variety of morphologies, including yeast colonies, hyphal mycelia, and elaborate fruiting bodies. This diversity arises through a combination of polar growth, cell division, and cell fusion.

Confusion on Cell Fusion [PDF]

open access: yesCellular and Molecular Gastroenterology and Hepatology, 2021
Cell fusion, whereby two cells merge to create one, has been widely described in development, but the role of cell fusion in tissue regeneration and homeostasis remains an open debate. We propose that the regenerative capacity of the gut can be fully attributed to extensive plasticity of the intestinal epithelium.

Flagging fusion: Phosphatidylserine signaling in cell–cell fusion [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2021
Formations of myofibers, osteoclasts, syncytiotrophoblasts, and fertilized zygotes share a common step, cell-cell fusion. Recent years have brought about considerable progress in identifying some of the proteins involved in these and other cell-fusion processes.

Virus-Mediated Cell-Cell Fusion [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020
Cell-cell fusion between eukaryotic cells is a general process involved in many physiological and pathological conditions, including infections by bacteria, parasites, and viruses. As obligate intracellular pathogens, viruses use intracellular machineries and pathways for efficient replication in their host target cells. Interestingly, certain viruses,

Functional coupling between TRPV4 channel and TMEM16F modulates human trophoblast fusion

open access: yeseLife, 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.

Preparation of Monoclonal Antibody against Deoxynivalenol and Development of Immunoassays

open access: yesToxins, 2022
Fusarium toxins are the largest group of mycotoxins, which contain more than 140 known secondary metabolites of fungi. Deoxynivalenol (DON) is one of the most important compounds of this class due to its high toxicity and its potential to harm mankind ...

Optimal quantum dot size for photovoltaics with fusion [PDF]

open access: yesNanoscale, 12(48), 24362-24367 (2020), 2021
Light fusion increases the efficiency of solar cells by converting photons with lower energy than the bandgap into higher energy photons. The solar cell converts the product photons to current. We use Monte Carlo simulation to predict that lead sulfide (PbS) quantum dot sensitizers will enable fusion with a figure of merit on the mA cm$^{-2}$ scale ...

The hallmarks of cell-cell fusion [PDF]

open access: yesDevelopment, 2017
Cell-cell fusion is essential for fertilization and organ development. Dedicated proteins known as fusogens are responsible for mediating membrane fusion. However, until recently, these proteins either remained unidentified or were poorly understood at the mechanistic level. Here, we review how fusogens surmount multiple energy barriers to mediate cell-

Differentiation Capacity of Bone Marrow-Derived Rat Mesenchymal Stem Cells from DsRed and Cre Transgenic Cre/loxP Models

open access: yesCells, 2022
Cre/loxP recombination is a well-established technique increasingly used for modifying DNA both in vitro and in vivo. Nucleotide alterations can be edited in the genomes of mammalian cells, and genetic switches can be designed to target the expression or
