Enzymes inhibit cell wall repair to enable irreversible cell fusion

Audio narration · Coming soon

This research explores how enzymes locally block the repair of the cell wall, facilitating the irreversible fusion of cells. The process is crucial in the sexual reproduction of fungi, where cells must merge membranes and open their protective cell walls.
