Mitofusins Mfn1 and Mfn2 coordinately regulate mitochondrial fusion and are essential for embryonic development [PDF]
, 2003 Mitochondrial morphology is determined by a dynamic equilibrium between organelle fusion and fission, but the significance of these processes in vertebrates is unknown.

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.

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

Fusion of Sendai virus with the target cell membrane is required for T cell cytotoxicity [PDF]
, 1978 INFECTION of mice with viruses can generate cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) which show restricted specificity for target cell lysis. Specific lysis requires that the virus used to prime the target cells must be of the same type as that used to sensitise ...

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

Disruption of HOX activity leads to cell death that can be enhanced by the interference of iron uptake in malignant B cells. [PDF]
, 2010 The HOX genes encode a family of transcription factors that are dysregulated in several malignancies and have been implicated in oncogenesis and cancer cell survival.

Normal microspore production after cell fusion in Brachiaria jubata (Gramineae)
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2003 Cytogenetic studies were carried out on 22 accessions of Brachiaria jubata from the Embrapa Beef Cattle Brachiaria collection. One accession was diploid (2n = 2x = 18) and the remaining 21 were tetraploid (2n = 4x = 36). Among five tetraploid accessions,

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.

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.

V-fusion: a convenient, nontoxic method for cell fusion
BioTechniques, 2010 Cell-to-cell fusion (cell fusion) is a fundamental biological process that also has been used as a versatile experimental tool to dissect a variety of cellular mechanisms, including the consequences of cell fusion itself, and to produce cells with ...
