International audience.
Using mice lacking the Wnt enhancer Rspo1, Lacour et al. demonstrate that Rspo1 controls muscle cell fusion during skeletal muscle regeneration. Rspo1-null muscle progenitor cells differentiate less efficiently but fuse extensively compared to wild-type cells. Rspo1 is shown to regulate the antagonism between canonical and non-canonical Wnt signaling pathways.
