Muscle-forming myotubes are formed from the cell-cell fusion of myoblasts. In this issue of
Developmental Cell, Leikina et al.(2018) provide compelling evidence that myoblast fusion
is dependent on a two-component membrane fusion complex of Myomaker and Myomerger,
which function in hemifusion and pore formation activity, respectively.
