Cell Fusion: An EFFicient Sculptor [PDF]
Current Biology, 2002 Mutations in the eff-1 gene of Caenorhabditis elegans, which prevent all cell-cell fusions in the nematode's epidermis, have revealed developmental roles for cell fusion. An extracellular fusogen-like domain in EFF-1 suggests it might direct the fusion of lipid bilayers.

The Journal of Poultry Science, 2005 In order to produce nuclear transferred PGCs, fusion of primordial germ cell (PGC) with embryonic blood cell (EBC) was attempted. PGCs and EBCs were isolated from the blood of stages 13-15 embryos.

Soluble CD40 ligand can replace the normal T cell-derived CD40 ligand signal to B cells in T cell-dependent activation [PDF]
, 1993 We have constructed a soluble chimeric fusion protein between the mouse CD8 alpha chain and the mouse CD40 T cell ligand. This protein binds to both human and mouse B cells.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Venom peptides have shown promise in treating pain. Our study uses computer screening to identify a peptide that targets a sodium channel (NaV1.7) linked to chronic pain. We produced the peptide in the laboratory and refined its design, advancing the search for innovative pain therapies.

Cell Fusion: EFF Is Enough [PDF]
Current Biology, 2005 Developmentally programmed cell-cell fusion in Caenorhabditis elegans requires the EFF-1 protein, which is sufficient to cause normally non-fusing cells to fuse. EFF-1 localizes to fusion-fated membranes, implicating it as a direct fusogen.

Timescales of Cell Membrane Fusion Mediated by SARS-CoV2 Spike Protein and its Receptor ACE2 [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 In this manuscript we describe the investigation of the SARS-CoV2 membrane fusion timescale by means of small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) using hydrogen/deuterium contrast variation. After the successful production of virus-like vesicles and human-host-cell-like vesicles we were able to follow the fusion of the respective vesicles in real-time ...

Mitochondrial Dynamics at the Interface of Immune Cell Metabolism and Function
, 2018 Immune cell differentiation and function are crucially dependent on specific metabolic programs dictated by mitochondria, including the generation of ATP from the oxidation of nutrients and supplying precursors for the synthesis of macromolecules and ...

Cell fusion: A hidden enemy? [PDF]
Cancer Cell, 2003 The recent findings that cell fusion may be involved in stem cell differentiation (Medvinsky and Smith, 2003) raise a possibility that cell fusion has undiscovered functions, some of which can perhaps be found by revisiting the old ideas that cell fusion can promote disease, especially cancer.

The power of microRNA regulation—insights into immunity and metabolism
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.MicroRNAs are emerging as crucial regulators at the intersection of metabolism and immunity. This review examines how miRNAs coordinate glucose and lipid metabolism while simultaneously modulating T‐cell development and immune responses. Moreover, it highlights how cutting‐edge artificial intelligence applications can identify miRNA biomarkers ...
