Epidermal cell fusion promotes the transition from an embryonic to a larval transcriptome in C. elegans.

Development (Cambridge, England) - 15 Dec 2025

Funk Owen H, Levy Daniel L, Fay David S

Abstract excerpt

Cell fusion is a fundamental process in the development of many multicellular organisms, but its precise role in gene regulation and differentiation remains largely unknown. The Caenorhabditis elegans epidermis, which comprises multiple syncytial cells in the adult, represents a powerful model for studying cell fusion in the context of animal development. The largest of these epidermal syncytia, hyp7, integrates...
