Arsenic Trioxide Promotes Tumor Progression by Inducing the Formation of PGCCs and Embryonic Hemoglobin in Colon Cancer Cells

open access: yesFrontiers in Oncology, 2021
Arsenic trioxide (ATO) has been used to treat acute promyelocytic leukemia. However, it is not effective in treating solid tumors such as colorectal cancer.

Expression and Function of Transmembrane-4 Superfamily (Tetraspanin) Proteins in Osteoclasts: Reciprocal Roles of Tspan-5 and NET-6 during Osteoclastogenesis

open access: yesAllergology International, 2007
Background: Osteoclasts are bone-resorbing multinuclear polykaryons essential for bone remodeling, formed through cell fusion of mononuclear macrophage/monocyte lineage precursor cells upon stimulation by the RANK/RANKL system.

Analysis of Cell–Cell Bridges in Haloferax volcanii Using Electron Cryo-Tomography Reveal a Continuous Cytoplasm and S-Layer

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Halophilic archaea have been proposed to exchange DNA and proteins using a fusion-based mating mechanism. Scanning electron microscopy previously suggested that mating involves an intermediate state, where cells are connected by an intercellular bridge ...

Cry2 Is Critical for Circadian Regulation of Myogenic Differentiation by Bclaf1-Mediated mRNA Stabilization of Cyclin D1 and Tmem176b

open access: yesCell Reports, 2018
Summary: Circadian rhythms regulate cell proliferation and differentiation; however, little is known about their roles in myogenic differentiation. Our synchronized differentiation studies demonstrate that myoblast proliferation and subsequent myotube ...

Mate and fuse: how yeast cells do it [PDF]

open access: yesOpen Biology, 2013
Many cells are able to orient themselves in a non-uniform environment by responding to localized cues. This leads to a polarized cellular response, where the cell can either grow or move towards the cue source.

Ancestry dependent balancing selection of placental dysferlin at high-altitude

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023
Introduction: The placenta mediates fetal growth by regulating gas and nutrient exchange between the mother and the fetus. The cell type in the placenta where this nutrient exchange occurs is called the syncytiotrophoblast, which is the barrier between ...

Cell fusion [PDF]

open access: yesWormBook, 2006
Selective cell fusion is a natural part of development. It is found in sexually reproducing organisms that require fertilization to propagate and in muscles, placenta, bones, lens of the eye and stem cells. Cell fusion is particularly important in the development of C. elegans: in addition to 300 sperm and oocytes that fuse during fertilization, 300 of

Requirement of myomaker-mediated stem cell fusion for skeletal muscle hypertrophy

open access: yeseLife, 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.

Filopodia powered by class x myosin promote fusion of mammalian myoblasts

open access: yeseLife, 2021
Skeletal muscle fibers are multinucleated cellular giants formed by the fusion of mononuclear myoblasts. Several molecules involved in myoblast fusion have been discovered, and finger-like projections coincident with myoblast fusion have also been ...
