In vitro fusion and separation of sea urchin primary mesenchyme cells.

Karp GC , Solursh M .


???displayArticle.abstract???
Time-lapse videomicroscopy of cultured primary mesenchyme cells from mesenchyme blastulae of the sea urchin Lytechinus pictus demonstrates the dramatic ability of these cells to undergo cell fusion and cell separation. Although this plasticity of cell associations is presumed to play a role in the formation of the syncytial cables that secrete the larval skeleton, the surfaces of these cells must be specialized for fusion and cell separation.
