Cell fusion in osteoclastogenesis [PDF]
Biochemical Society TransactionsMultinucleated osteoclasts, generated by fusion of mononucleated precursors, play an essential role in the lifelong remodeling of our bones. Since within the physiological range of osteoclast sizes, their bone-resorbing activity grows with successive fusion events, both initiation of this fusion reaction and its switch off are tightly controlled.

Spatiotemporal compartmentalization of NADPH oxidase signaling coordinates cell fusion and predatory behavior in nematode-trapping fungi [PDF]
mBioReactive oxygen species (ROS) act both as cytotoxic agents and essential signaling molecules. In the nematode-trapping fungus Arthrobotrys flagrans, we investigated how ROS coordinate the development and function of adhesive trapping networks used to ...

The Zinc Finger Protein Zfp2 Regulates Cell–Cell Fusion and Virulence in Cryptococcus neoformans [PDF]
Journal of FungiCryptococcus neoformans is a fungal pathogen commonly found in the environment. It mainly infects immunocompromised individuals, causing cryptococcal pneumonia and meningitis, which result in hundreds of thousands of deaths each year.

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 ...

Role of hypoxia in promoting migration and cell fusion of urine-derived stem cells
陆军军医大学学报, 2023 Objective To explore the effect of hypoxia on cell migration and fusion of urine-derived stem cells (USCs) in vitro, and observe the changes in cytoskeleton and cell polarity during the process.

Histochemistry and Cell Biology, 2008 Cell fusions are important to fertilization, placentation, development of skeletal muscle and bone, calcium homeostasis and the immune defense system. Additionally, cell fusions participate in tissue repair and may be important to cancer development and progression.

Cell fusion and plasticity [PDF]
Cytotechnology, 2003 Cell plasticity is a central issue in stem cell biology. In many recent discussions, observation of cell fusion has been seen as a confounding factor which calls into question published results concerning cell plasticity of, particularly, adult stem cells.
