Popis: Myoblast fusion is essential for development of multinucleated myofibers. Here, the authors show that ablation of Elmo 1 and Elmo2 impairs myoblast fusion in mice, and that expression of an open conformation of Elmo2 promotes muscle regeneration and improves the phenotype of Dysferlin-null dystrophic mice.
