We made a new term called cell-cell fusion as an is_a parent for the myoblast fusion term. Cell-cell fusion has been placed as a cellular process.

==To Do==
Fix the new cell fusion term that we made according to Midori's mail below:
We have 'cell-cell fusion' as a broad synonym of plasma membrane fusion:
[Term]
id: GO:0045026
name: plasma membrane fusion
namespace: biological_process
alt_id: GO:0006947
def: "The joining of two or more lipid bilayer membranes that surround a
cell." [GOC:elh]
synonym: "cell-cell fusion" BROAD []
is_a: GO:0006944 ! membrane fusion
And if I understand the biology correctly (usual caveats apply), myoblast
fusion could be a type of syncytium formation by plasma membrane fusion
(GO:0000768).

We went through about two thirds of the list on the google spreadsheet and figured out what to do about each item.

We went through the descendants of skeletal muscle regeneration and fixed the graph and definitions. We made the terms is_a complete as we went along.

We made a new term called cell-cell fusion as an is_a parent for the myoblast fusion term. Cell-cell fusion has been placed as a cellular process.
