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 microprotein Minion controls cell fusion and muscle formation [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2017 Although recent evidence has pointed to the existence of small open reading frame (smORF)-encoded microproteins in mammals, their function remains to be determined.

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.
