Membrane Fusion: Caught in a Trap [PDF]
Current Biology, 2004 SNAREs are small coiled-coil proteins required for specific membrane fusion events in eukaryotic cells. Recent evidence points to the existence of an inhibitory class of SNAREs, i-SNAREs, which prevent incorrect fusions from occurring, adding a further layer of regulation to the process of membrane docking and fusion.

Influenza Virus-cell Fusion Inhibition Assay
Bio-Protocol, 2013 During viral infection to host cells, several viruses undergo the process of endocytosis and pH-dependent fusion. By fusion of viral membrane with host cellular membrane, the viral core invades to host cytoplasm.

INSIGHTS ON MEMBRANE FUSION [PDF]
Cell Biology International, 2000 AbstractMembrane fusion is a fundamental cellular process regulating intracellular transport, neurotransmission, enzyme secretion, hormone release, and the entry/exit of viruses, to name a few. Knowledge of how opposing bilayers fuse, besides advancing our understanding of these cellular processes, will provide us with the facts to ameliorate secretory

Fusogenic structural changes in arenavirus glycoproteins are associated with viroporin activity.
PLoS Pathogens, 2023 Many enveloped viruses enter host cells by fusing with acidic endosomes. The fusion activity of multiple viral envelope glycoproteins does not generally affect viral membrane permeability.

Natural Killer Cells in Paediatric Soft Tissue Sarcomas: A Systematic Review
Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Paediatric soft tissue sarcomas (pSTS) are a rare and heterogeneous group of malignant tumours arising in tissues of mesenchymal origin. The role of natural killer (NK) cells in pSTS remains poorly understood, with evidence fragmented across small preclinical studies and early‐phase clinical trials.

Structural Insights into Membrane Fusion Mediated by Convergent Small Fusogens
Cells, 2021 From lifeless viral particles to complex multicellular organisms, membrane fusion is inarguably the important fundamental biological phenomena. Sitting at the heart of membrane fusion are protein mediators known as fusogens.

Illuminating membrane fusion [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2006 Membrane fusion is a central event for a wide variety of biological processes, such as transport of cargo through the secretory and endocytic pathways, organelle inheritance, neurotransmission, and viral entry into host cells, among others. Hence, understanding the mechanism(s) of physiological membrane fusion is a subject of wide biological interest ...

The Role of Chemotherapy in Pediatric Myoepithelial Carcinoma: A Systematic Review of the Literature
Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Myoepithelial carcinoma (MEC) in pediatric patients is a rare and aggressive malignancy characterized by heterogeneous morphology and variable molecular features. The optimal role of chemotherapy remains unclear. We conducted a systematic review according to PRISMA 2020 guidelines to evaluate chemotherapy in pediatric and young‐adult patients ...
