Syndactyly is a condition wherein two or more digits are fused together. It occurs normally in some mammals , [ 1 ] but is an unusual condition in humans. The term is from Ancient Greek σύν (syn) 'together' and δάκτυλος (daktulos) 'finger'.
Two trees may grow to their mature size adjacent to each other and seemingly grow together or conjoin, demonstrating inosculation. These may be of the same species or even of different genera or families, depending on whether the two trees have become truly grafted together (once the cambium of two trees touches, they self-graft and grow together).
The result of this is that the cytoplasm has mixed together and the cell membrane has completely fused. All that remains separate is the nuclei, which will fuse at a later time within the cell, making the result a heterokaryon cell. [7] Polyethylene glycol cell fusion is the simplest, but most toxic, way
In order for karyogamy to occur, the cell membrane and cytoplasm of each cell must fuse with the other in a process known as plasmogamy. Once within the joined cell membrane, the nuclei are referred to as pronuclei. Once the cell membranes, cytoplasm, and pronuclei fuse, the resulting single cell is diploid, containing two copies of the genome.
Spinal fusion, also called spondylodesis or spondylosyndesis, is a surgery performed by orthopaedic surgeons or neurosurgeons that joins two or more vertebrae. [1] This procedure can be performed at any level in the spine (cervical, thoracic, lumbar, or sacral) and prevents any movement between the fused vertebrae.
Connation in plants is the developmental fusion of organs of the same type, for example, petals to one another to form a tubular corolla. [1] [2] This is in contrast to adnation, the fusion of dissimilar organs.
Thorn and Ben Watt – who have been together since the 1980s and married in 2009 – began working on Fuse the following spring. ‘After so much time apart professionally,” says Thorn ...
Before cells can fuse, they must be in contact with one another. This can be accomplished through cell recognition and attachment by cellular machinery. [5] Syncytin-1 is a Class I fusogen involved in the fusion of cells to form osteoclasts in humans. [10]
