Fusion between a myogenic cell in the satellite cell position and undamaged adult myofibre segments.
In this report we demonstrate for the first time that differentiating myogenic cells, geographically located between the plasmalemma and external lamina of myofibres in the satellite cell position, can fuse directly with the plasmalemma of undamaged segments of mature myofibres.
