“…During postembryonic (larval) development, additional cells merge with the major embryonic syncytium hyp7 forming the largest worm cell, containing 139 nuclei in the adult hermaphrodite (Podbilewicz and White, 1994; Yochem et al, 1998). Additional multinucleate cells form in the epidermis and during organogenesis of the vulva, uterus, and hymen in the reproductive system (Sharma-Kishore et al, 1999; Kolotuev and Podbilewicz, 2008; Weinstein and Podbilewicz, 2016). In the digestive system, fusions occur in epithelial and myoepithelial cells of the pharynx and in different glands (Shemer et al, 2004).…”

“…Interestingly, self-fusions have been reported during blood vessel pruning during vertebrate vascular differentiation, although the fusogens implicated in this context remain unknown (Lenard et al, 2015). Misregulation of the EFF-1/AFF-1-based cell fusion machineries by interference of EGF/RAS/MAPK, Notch and Wnt signaling can result in either excessive fusion or fusion failure, causing, for instance, vulvaless or multi-vulva phenotypes, respectively (Dalpe et al, 2005;Escobar-Restrepo and Hajnal, 2014;Koh et al, 2004;Podbilewicz, 2004, 2008;Myers and Greenwald, 2005;Schmid and Hajnal, 2015;Weinstein and Podbilewicz, 2016). In larval epidermal lateral seam cells, actin fibers crosslinked by Spectroplakin (VAB-10A) interact with EFF-1 to increase its apical distribution and assist in reducing the intermembrane distance (Yang et al, 2017).…”
