Giant cells: multiple cells unite to survive
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2023 Multinucleated Giant Cells (MGCs) are specialized cells that develop from the fusion of multiple cells, and their presence is commonly observed in human cells during various infections. However, MGC formation is not restricted to infections alone but can

Surface activity of cancer cells: the fusion of two cell aggregates [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Although a good comprehension of how cancer cells collectively migrate by following molecular rules which influence the state of cell-cell adhesion contacts has been generated, the impact of collective migration on cellular rearrangement from subcellular to supracellular level remains less understood.

The stochastic entry of enveloped viruses: Fusion vs. endocytosis [PDF]
Biophys. J., 93, 1116-1123, (2007), 2007 Viral infection requires the binding of receptors on the target cell membrane to glycoproteins, or ``spikes,'' on the viral membrane. The initial entry is usually classified as fusogenic or endocytotic. However, binding of viral spikes to cell surface receptors not only initiates the viral adhesion and the wrapping process necessary for internalization,

Ca2+ Signalling Differentially Regulates Germ-Tube Formation and Cell Fusion in Fusarium oxysporum
Journal of Fungi, 2022 Fusarium oxysporum is an important plant pathogen and an emerging opportunistic human pathogen. Germination of conidial spores and their fusion via conidial anastomosis tubes (CATs) are significant events during colony establishment in culture and on ...

The First Family of Cell-Cell Fusion [PDF]
Developmental Cell, 2007 Our understanding of the developmentally critical process of cell-cell fusion has been greatly advanced by the identification of the first family of cell-cell fusion proteins. Together, the two founding members of the FF family execute the majority of cell-cell fusion events in C. elegans.

Viruses, 2022 Not all antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 inhibit viral entry, and hence, infection. Neutralizing antibodies are more likely to reflect real immunity; however, certain tests investigate protein/protein interaction rather than the fusion event.

Mechanisms of receptor/coreceptor-mediated entry of enveloped viruses [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 96, 2624-2636, (2009), 2008 Enveloped viruses enter host cells either through endocytosis, or by direct fusion of the viral membrane envelope and the membrane of the host cell. However, some viruses, such as HIV-1, HSV-1, and Epstein-Barr can enter a cell through either mechanism, with the choice of pathway often a function of the ambient physical chemical conditions, such as ...
