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 ...

Communicative & Integrative Biology, 2014 Tunneling nanotubes (TNTs) are recently discovered thin membranous tubes that interconnect cells. During the last decade, research has shown TNTs to be diverse in morphology and composition, varying between and within cell systems. In addition, the discovery of TNT-like extracellular protrusions, as well as observations of TNTs in vivo, has further ...

Tunneling Spectroscopy for Electronic Bands in Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes with Van Der Waals Gap
Molecules, 2021 Various intriguing quantum transport measurements for carbon nanotubes (CNTs) based on their unique electronic band structures have been performed adopting a field-effect transistor (FET), where the contact resistance represents the interaction between ...

Trojan horses and tunneling nanotubes enable α-synuclein pathology to spread in Parkinson disease.
PLoS Biology, 2021 In Parkinson disease (PD), Lewy bodies (LBs) form in the gut or nose and spread into the midbrain. A study in this issue indicates that the spread is due to lysosomes "infected" with prion-like alpha-synuclein (α-syn) transmitting from cell to cell via ...

Nonequilibrium Tunneling Spectroscopy in Carbon Nanotubes [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2009 We report measurements of the non-equilibrium electron energy distribution in carbon nanotubes. Using tunneling spectroscopy via a superconducting probe, we study the shape of the local electron distribution functions, and hence energy relaxation rates, in nanotubes that have bias voltages applied between their ends.

Observation of cooper pair splitting and andreev bound states in carbon nanotubes [PDF]
, 2014 In this thesis, we investigate Cooper pair splitting in double quantum dot devices made from carbon nanotubes. We present transport measurements in which the controlled splitting of Cooper pairs dominates the current through such a device, reaching ...

Probing Electronic Properties of Carbon Nanotubes [PDF]
, 2008 Carbon nanotubes are quasi-one-dimensional objects that have many remarkable electronic properties. In Chapter I, an electrostatic force microscopy technique to probe the local density of states of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) under ambient ...
