Research project funded by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences to study cellular and molecular mechanisms of cell-cell fusion, with potential therapeutic applications.
Description
This project investigates the mechanisms underlying cell-cell fusion, a process vital for organism development and implicated in various diseases. Using advanced imaging and molecular techniques, the research aims to uncover novel fusogens and regulatory pathways, with implications for understanding muscle development, immune response, and disease pathology.
