Cell   45 , 551 - 564.e4 . 10.1016/j.devcel.2018.04.024 FRAP was monitored in the bleached region with respect to the bleached edge and the neighboring edges in contact with the bleached edge (Bleached edge+four...

... on the expression of Lim2, a claudin-like molecule. The conduits for intercellular protein exchange are most likely regions of partial cellular fusion, which are commonly observed in wild-type lenses but rare or absent in Lim2-deficient lenses. The observation that lens tissue constitutes a stratified syncytium has...

...Valery I. Shestopalov; Steven Bassnett The mammalian lens consists of an aged core of quiescent cells enveloped by a layer of synthetically active cells. Abundant gap junctions within and between these cell populations ensure that the lens functions as an electrical syncytium and facilitates...

... mitochondrium nucleus CV-1 cells electrofusion polykaryon syncytium immunofluorescence Cell division and cell fusion are two related processes that play an important role in the development of biological organisms. Cell fusion also has important uses in the study of somatic cell genetics including...

...Isabelle Salles-Passador; André Moisand; Viviane Planques; Michel Wright ABSTRACT It has been claimed that the plasmodium of the myxomycete Physarum polycephaium constitutes a very unusual syncytium, devoid of cytoplasmic microtubules. In contrast, we have observed a cytoplasmic microtubule network...
