A perfect model for coming together this season: mouse skeletal muscles undergoing fusion, obviously.
In this mesmerizing confocal microscopy video, nuclei are labeled in green & cell bodies are labeled in red. Credit: Yue Lu, Elizabeth Chen Lab, @UTSWMedCenter

💫NEW: @EChenLab & co reveal spatiotemporal coordination between 2 nucleation-promoting factors, WAVE & N-WASP, and 2 actin-bundling proteins, dynamin & WIP, in generating invasive protrusions at the #myoblast fusogenic synapse.
