Résumé
Muscle-forming myotubes are formed from the cell-cell fusion of myoblasts. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Leikina et al. (2018) provide compelling evidence that myoblast fusion is dependent on a two-component membrane fusion complex of Myomaker and Myomerger, which function in hemifusion and pore formation activity, respectively.
