Biocompatibility and antimicrobial efficacy of iodine-supported titania nanotubes on 3D-printed Ti-6Al-4V implants. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
Implant-associated infections (IAI) are a significant concern within the field of orthopedics. To develop an implant with antimicrobial properties, titania nanotubes (TNTs) supported with iodine were synthesized on 3D-printed Ti-6Al-4V implants using the

Role of Tunneling Nanotubes in Arachidonic Acid Transfer and Macrophage Function Reprogramming in Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma [PDF]

Advanced Science
Tumor‐associated macrophages (TAMs) play a crucial role in tumor progression within the tumor microenvironment (TME) through phenotypic plasticity and functional modulation. While tunneling nanotubes (TNTs) mediate intercellular communication, their role

Intercellular crosstalk mediated by tunneling nanotubes between central nervous system cells. What we need to advance

Frontiers in Physiology, 2023
Long-range intercellular communication between Central Nervous System (CNS) cells is an essential process for preserving CNS homeostasis. Paracrine signaling, extracellular vesicles, neurotransmitters and synapses are well-known mechanisms involved.

Multi-level communication of human retinal pigment epithelial cells via tunneling nanotubes. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
BACKGROUND: Tunneling nanotubes (TNTs) may offer a very specific and effective way of intercellular communication. Here we investigated TNTs in the human retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cell line ARPE-19.
