Cell Fusion and Syncytium Formation in Betaherpesvirus Infection

30 Sept 2021

Abstract excerpt

Cell-cell fusion is a fundamental and complex process that occurs during reproduction, organ and tissue growth, cancer metastasis, immune response, and infection. All enveloped viruses express one or more proteins that drive the fusion of the viral envelope with cellular membranes. The same proteins can mediate the fusion of the plasma membranes of adjacent cells, leading to the formation of multinucleated...
