Peering into tunneling nanotubes—The path forward [PDF]

EMBO Journal, 2021
The identification of Tunneling Nanotubes (TNTs) and TNT-like structures signified a critical turning point in the field of cell-cell communication. With hypothesized roles in development and disease progression, TNTs' ability to transport biological cargo between distant cells has elevated these structures to a unique and privileged position among ...

Myosin-X Acts Upstream of L-Plastin to Drive Stress-Induced Tunneling Nanotubes [PDF]

Cells
Tunneling 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.

Role of Tunneling Nanotubes in the Nervous System. [PDF]

Int J Mol Sci, 2022
Cellular communication and the transfer of information from one cell to another is crucial for cell viability and homeostasis. During the last decade, tunneling nanotubes (TNTs) have attracted scientific attention, not only as a means of direct intercellular communication, but also as a possible system to transport biological cargo between distant ...

Tunneling nanotubes provide a unique conduit for intercellular transfer of cellular contents in human malignant pleural mesothelioma. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Tunneling nanotubes are long, non-adherent F-actin-based cytoplasmic extensions which connect proximal or distant cells and facilitate intercellular transfer.

Tunnelling nanotubes [PDF]

Prion, 2009
The discovery of tunnelling nanotubes (TNTs) and their proposed role in long intercellular transport of organelles, bacteria and viruses have led us to examine their potential role during prion spreading. We have recently shown that these membrane bridges can form between neuronal cells, as well as between dendritic cells and primary neurons and that ...

Lethal effects of mitochondria via microfluidics

Bioengineering & Translational Medicine, 2023
Tumor cells can respond to therapeutic agents by morphologic alternations including formation of tunneling nanotubes. Using tomographic microscope, which can detect the internal structure of cells, we found that mitochondria within breast tumor cells ...

Pathogenic Stress Induces Human Monocyte to Express an Extracellular Web of Tunneling Nanotubes

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021
Actin-based tunneling nanotubes are a means of intercellular communication between remote cells. In the last decade, this type of nanotube was described in a wide variety of cell types and it became widely accepted that communication through these ...
