## Abstract Cell fusion occurs during fertilization and in the formation of organs such as muscles, placenta, and bones. We have developed an experimental model for epithelial cell fusion which permits analysis of the processes during junction disintegration and formation of polykaryons (Palovuori
This report is aimed at the biophysical modeling of transmembrane events involving a passive diffusion and directional pumplike mechanism at the apical (AP) and basolateral (BL) membranes of cultured cell monolayers. The essence of the model is based on experimental evidences for the existence of a
