Interplay between tunneling nanotubes and Wnt Signaling: Insights into cytoskeletal regulation and therapeutic potential [PDF]

Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports
Tunneling nanotubes (TNTs) are membranous structures that enable direct intercellular transfer of mitochondria, proteins, RNAs, and signaling molecules, playing key roles in tissue repair, immune coordination, and stress adaptation.

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 ...

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 ...
