Where does the secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine (SPARC) protein originate? What leads to its expression? SPARC is secreted from cells. Virtually any cell can produce SPARC. In fact most cells that are adherent in tissue culture produce SPARC at a detectable level. Growth of cells in culture is stressful and SPARC is a protein that is often produced by cells under stress, thus the concept of it as a ‘culture shock’ protein was established. In tissues, cells that are

People & Ideas JCB • VOLUME 206 • NUMBER 5 • 2014576 M ost cells in the body are solo entities, self-contained within a cell membrane. But there are certain cases in which cells meld together. Skeletal muscle cells, for example, are multinucleate syncytia that form through the process of cell–cell fusion. Osteo- clasts, a type of cell involved in bone remodeling, also fuse together to promote better bone resorption. And you would not be reading this article were it not for a
