Expression of Myomaker and Myomerger in myofibers causes muscle pathology

Abstract Background Skeletal muscle development and regeneration depend on cellular fusion of myogenic progenitors to generate multinucleated myofibers. These progenitors utilize two muscle-specific fusogens, Myomaker and Myomerger, which function by remodeling cell membranes to fuse to each other o...
