A perfect model for coming together this season: mouse skeletal muscles undergoing fusion, obviously. In this mesmerizing confocal microscopy video, nuclei are labeled in green & cell bodies are labeled in red. Credit: Yue Lu, Elizabeth Chen Lab, @UTSWMedCenter

Last session of #cellfusionGRC (my FIRST GRC 😱). I’ve learned a ton and love discussing all things fusion. Cells fuse all the time you guys! Best thing about the site was probably the very empty gym 😍😍
