“They favored a myoepithelial origin, hypothesizing that the myoepithelial cells enlarge and merge together to form a syncytium.”

“The maze experiments used the plasmodium phase of the mould, a multi-nucleate single cell, or syncytium.”

“Upon muscle injury, these cells undergo mitosis, proliferate, form syncytium and ultimately form new skeletal myocytes.”

“The total number of syncytia in one well and the number of nuclei in each syncytia were determined.”

“One characteristic feature of the majority of syncytia and coenocytes is that their nuclei are regularly spaced within the cytoplasm.”

“The syncytial nature of the Siphonales was not revealed until 1879. The existence of syncytia constitutes an exception to the cell-theory.”
