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

"Actin Duet for Fusion" – our second video of muscle cell fusion is hosted on HHMI's Beautiful Biology!

Thanks BB and congratulations to @YueluUTSW!

💫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.

@PauliGroup @deneke_v Fantastic work @PauliGroup! And beautiful talk at CSHL @deneke_v!

[Elizabeth Chen @EChenLab]

What an exciting and fun Cell & Membrane Fusion meeting that was! Huge thanks to @cshlmeetings for giving our community a beautiful new home. It was a great pleasure co-organizing it with @PauliGroup and Mark Rose. Look forward to coming back again @CSHL in two years! #cshlfusion

[CSHL Meetings @cshlmeetings]

Cell & Membrane Fusion starts TONIGHT ☄️ use #cshlfusion this week for your posts! A special thank you to our organizers!

[Elizabeth Chen @EChenLab]

@JulieBrill5 Thank Julie! Enjoy!

[Elizabeth Chen @EChenLab]

Curious about how cells generate mechanically stiff invasive protrusions from branched actin filaments? Check out our paper published today in @NatureCellBio!

Congratulations to Yue Lu and all co-authors for a beautiful piece of work!
