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

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.

Regulation of cell-cell fusion by nanotopography [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2016 AbstractCell-cell fusion is fundamental to a multitude of biological processes ranging from cell differentiation and embryogenesis to cancer metastasis and biomaterial-tissue interactions. Fusogenic cells are exposed to biochemical and biophysical factors, which could potentially alter cell behavior.

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.

Enhancement of polyethylene glycol‐cell fusion efficiency by novel application of transient pressure using a jet injector [PDF]
FEBS Open Bio, 2023 Cell–cell fusion involves the fusion of somatic cells into a single hybrid cell. It is not only a physiological process but also an important cell engineering technology which can be applied to various fields, such as regenerative medicine, antibody ...

Structural Basis of Eukaryotic Cell-Cell Fusion [PDF]
Cell, 2014 Cell-cell fusion proteins are essential in development. Here we show that the C. elegans cell-cell fusion protein EFF-1 is structurally homologous to viral class II fusion proteins. The 2.6 Å crystal structure of the EFF-1 trimer displays the same 3D fold and quaternary conformation of postfusion class II viral fusion proteins, although it lacks a ...

Distinct Requirements for HIV-Cell Fusion and HIV-mediated Cell-Cell Fusion* [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2015 Background: Determinants of HIV-1 fusion with the plasma membrane versus endosomal membrane are unknown. Results: Unlike HIV-cell fusion, HIV-mediated fusion of the plasma membranes of adjacent cells occurred with much lower probability and was actin ...

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