GFAP serves as a structural element of tunneling nanotubes between glioblastoma cells and could play a role in the intercellular transfer of mitochondria

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023
Tunneling nanotubes (TNTs) are long F-actin-positive plasma membrane bridges connecting distant cells, allowing the intercellular transfer of cellular cargoes, and are found to be involved in glioblastoma (GBM) intercellular crosstalk.

Modeling TNT Ignition

open access: yesThe Journal of Physical Chemistry A, 2009
A 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) ignition model was developed using data from multiple sources. The one-step, first-order, pressure-dependent mechanism was used to predict ignition behavior from small- and large-scale experiments involving significant fluid motion. Bubbles created from decomposition gases were shown to cause vigorous boiling.

Development of Well-Aligned TiO2 Nanotube Arrays to Improve Electron Transport in Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells

open access: yesInternational Journal of Photoenergy, 2012
We fabricated well-aligned one-dimensional (1-D) titania nanotubes (TNT) on transparent conducting oxide (TCO) by anodization of Ti foil. Different lengths of TNTs were prepared by varying the applied potential (70 V) time, and we investigated the ...

Antibacterial and Microstructure Properties of Titanium Surfaces Modified with Ag-Incorporated Nanotube Arrays [PDF]

open access: yesMaterials Research, 2016
Although titanium (Ti) and its alloys have been widely used as implants in clinical settings, failures still occur mainly due to poor bioactivity and implant-associated infections.

Characterization of intercellular communication and mitochondrial donation by mesenchymal stromal cells derived from the human lung [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Background: Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (BM-MSCs) are capable of repairing wounded lung epithelial cells by donating cytoplasmic material and mitochondria.

Tunneling nanotubes facilitate autophagosome transfer in the leukemic niche [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Stretching the alveolar epithelial type I (AT I) cells controls the intercellular signaling for the exocytosis of surfactant by the AT II cells through the extracellular release of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) (purinergic signaling). Extracellular ATP is

Titanate Nanotubes Decorated Graphene Oxide Nanocomposites: Preparation, Flame Retardancy, and Photodegradation

open access: yesNanoscale Research Letters, 2017
Most polymers exhibit high flammability and poor degradability, which restrict their applications and causes serious environmental problem like “white pollution.” Thus, titanate nanotubes (TNTs) were adopted to decorate graphene oxide (GO) by a facile ...

Preparation of Improved p-n Junction NiO/TiO2 Nanotubes for Solar-Energy-Driven Light Photocatalysis

open access: yesInternational Journal of Photoenergy, 2013
Self-organized TiO2 nanotubes (TNTs) with average inner diameter of 109 nm, wall thickness of 15 nm, and tube length of 7–10 μm were loaded with nickel oxide (NiO) nanoparticles via incipient wet impregnation method.

Variation in thermally induced taste response across thermal tasters [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Thermal tasters (TTs) perceive thermally induced taste (thermal taste) sensations when the tongue is stimulated with temperature in the absence of gustatory stimuli, while thermal non tasters (TnTs) only perceive temperature.
