Inception Mechanisms of Tunneling Nanotubes [PDF]
Cells, 2019 Tunneling nanotubes (TNTs) are thin membranous tubes that interconnect cells, representing a novel route of cell-to-cell communication and spreading of pathogens. TNTs form between many cell types, yet their inception mechanisms remain elusive. We review

Melatonin, tunneling nanotubes, mesenchymal cells, and tissue regeneration [PDF]
Neural Regeneration Research, 2023 Mesenchymal stem cells are multipotent stem cells that reside in many human tissues and organs. Mesenchymal stem cells are widely used in experimental and clinical regenerative medicine due to their capability to transdifferentiate into various lineages.

Suppression of Tunneling into Multiwall Carbon Nanotubes [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2001 We have studied tunneling of electrons into multi-wall carbon nanotubes. Nanotube/electrode interfaces with low transparency as well as nanotube/nanotube junctions created with atomic force microscope manipulation have been used. The tunneling conductance goes to zero as the temperature and bias are reduced, and the functional form is consistent with a

Chlamydia trachomatis Cell-to-Cell Spread through Tunneling Nanotubes [PDF]
Microbiology Spectrum, 2022 Tunneling nanotubes (TNTs) are transient cellular connections that consist of dynamic membrane protrusions. They play an important role in cell-to-cell communication and mediate the intercellular exchanges of molecules and organelles.

Identification and Characterization of Tunneling Nanotubes for Intercellular Trafficking
Current Protocols, 2023 AbstractTunneling nanotubes (TNTs) are thin membranous channels providing a direct cytoplasmic connection between remote cells. They are commonly observed in different cell cultures and increasing evidence supports their role in intercellular communication, and pathogen and amyloid protein transfer. However, the study of TNTs presents several pitfalls (

Proteomic landscape of tunneling nanotubes reveals CD9 and CD81 tetraspanins as key regulators [PDF]
eLifeTunneling nanotubes (TNTs) are open actin- and membrane-based channels, connecting remote cells and allowing direct transfer of cellular material (e.g. vesicles, mRNAs, protein aggregates) from the cytoplasm to the cytoplasm.

Myosin-X Acts Upstream of L-Plastin to Drive Stress-Induced Tunneling Nanotubes [PDF]
CellsTunneling nanotubes (TNTs) are thin, actin-based intercellular bridges that enable long-range communication during cellular stress; yet the molecular pathway controlling their formation remains unclear.
