How the actin cytoskeleton is harnessed to fulfill its diverse cellular functions is a recurrent and intriguing question. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Kim et al. and Massarwa et al. describe a new role for F-actin, and more specifically the actin regulator WASp, in myoblast fusion in Drosophila.
肌动蛋白细胞骨架是如何被利用来实现其多样的细胞功能，这是一个反复出现且引人入胜的问题。在本期《发育细胞》中，金等人和马萨尔瓦等人描述了丝状肌动蛋白（F-肌动蛋白），更具体地说是肌动蛋白调节蛋白WASp，在果蝇成肌细胞融合中的新作用。
