Intercalated discs are complex adhering structures that connect the single cardiomyocytes to an electrochemical syncytium ( in contrast to the skeletal muscle, which becomes a multicellular syncytium during mammalian embryonic development ).

Demyelinating Diseases of the central nervous system, such as Neuromyelitis Optica, often leads to molecular components of the panglial syncytium being compromised, which leads to blocking of potassium spatial buffering.

If ICC are important intermediaries in motor neurotransmission, then loss of these cells could reduce communication between the enteric nervous system and the smooth muscle syncytium, resulting in reduced neural regulation of motility.
35.
Another ( correct and well-established ) use of the word syncytium is found in animal embryology to refer to the coenocytic blastoderm embryos of invertebrates, such as " Drosophila melanogaster ".

We tested the in vitro anti-HIV activity on cord blood mononuclear cells and MT 4 cells by studying each of reverse transcriptase ( RT ) activity, p24 antigen production, and syncytium formation.

:The articles say a syncytium is " cell-like " ( but, presumably, not a cell ) with multiple nucleii, while a coenocyte is a " cell " with multiple nucleii.
38.
When the HN and F protein are manufactured by the cell and expressed on the surface, the same process may occur between adjacent cells, causing extensive membrane fusion and resulting in the formation of a syncytium.

It allows free diffusion of transcription factors in a massive syncytium whereas almost anything else uses morphogens passed between separate cells to create that pattern indirectly ) talk ) 14 : 21, 10 December 2014 ( UTC)

Cardiac muscle is a syncytium in which the cardiac muscle cells are so tightly bound that when one of these cells is excited the action potential spreads to all of them and allows succinct coordinated contraction of the heart.
