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
