Periodic Reporting for period 4 - CELLFUSION (Molecular dissection of the mechanisms of cell-cell fusion in the fission yeast)

The ERC CoG CellFusion aimed to depict the process of cell-cell fusion in the yeast model Schizosaccharomyces pombe. These haploid cells, which fuse to generate a diploid zygote, use conserved mechanisms of cell-cell communication (through pheromones and GPCR signaling), cell...
