The mechanism of initial cell fusion shown in As (III) experiments (and partially shown in chromium (VI) experiments) has not been well understood and thus has not been included in the models.

Dynamic modelling and prediction of cytotoxicity on microelectronic cell sensor array

"This new technology we call 'cell fusion' has the potential to dramatically reduce the costs associated with cloning human cells for clinical use.

Advanced Cell expands somatic cell nuclear transfer cellular reprogramming intellectual property portfolio

After cell fusion, hybrid cells were incubated in a selective hypoxanthine-aminopterin-thymidine medium (Kohler, 1979; Garfre and Milstein, 1981).

These two transcription factors play a critical role in the expression of specific genes, such as tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP), osteoclast-associated receptor (OSCAR), dendritic cell-specific transmembrane protein (DC-STAMP), and cathepsin K, which are required for osteoclast differentiation, cell fusion, and maturation.

One of the mechanisms being studied is reprogramming through cell fusion.

Retina regenerated in mice using neuronal reprogramming

Initial studies emphasized the role of cell fusion and differentiation as the potentially most important mechanisms of actions [27, 28], but subsequent studies questioned their importance in the beneficial effects [29, 30].

Comparison of the direct effects of human adipose- and bone-marrow-derived stem cells on postischemic cardiomyoblasts in an in vitro simulated ischemia-reperfusion model

The study demonstrated that the intrinsic flexibility of the attachment protein is a necessary condition to initiate the cell fusion process.

Measles virus is 'the latest weapon against cancer'

Three days before the cell fusion, 20 ug of KLH-peptide (without any adjuvant) was injected intravenously.

Production of monoclonal antibody against human nestin

The 22 chapters presented here by Pells (gene function and development, Roslin Institute, UK) describe methods of nuclear reprogramming including isolation of stromal cells from human adipose tissue, cell fusion, polyethylene glycol-mediated cell fusion, epigenetic reprogramming of somatic genomes by electrofusion with embryonic stem cells, modulation of cell fate using nuclear and cytoplasmic extracts, using immunofluorescence to observe methylation changes in mammalian preimplantation embryos, staining embryonic stem cells using monoclonal antibodies to stage-specific embryonic antigens, and methylation-sensitive polymerase chain reaction.

Genzyme General and Genovo form gene therapy collaboration

A novel process involving what appears to be exchange of plasmids by partial cell fusion has been observed in Halobacterium volcanii (16), and exchange of genetic markers has also been reported in Sulfolobus acidocaldarius (17).
