Flagging fusion: Phosphatidylserine signaling in cell–cell fusion
Journal 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 ...

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.

Generating Heterokaryotic Cells via Bacterial Cell-Cell Fusion
Microbiology 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 ...
