Communicative & Integrative Biology, 2011 Tunneling-nanotubes (TNTs) are a kind of cell-cell communication when cells are under stress. We hypothesize that insulted cells use TNTs as a highway to transfer materials and energy to healthy cells. TNTs transfer cellular compartments, such as endoplasmic reticulum (ER), mitochondria, Golgi and endosomes.

Communicative & Integrative Biology, 2009 Cell-to-cell communication coordinates the development of multicellular systems, and is mediated by soluble factors, gap junctions and the recently described tunneling nanotubes (TNT). Both TNT and gap junctions facilitate the transfer of intracellular mediators between the cytoplasm of connected cells.

Opportunities of Semiconducting Oxide Nanostructures as Advanced Luminescent Materials in Photonics
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.The review discusses the challenges of wide and ultrawide bandgap semiconducting oxides as a suitable material platform for photonics. They offer great versatility in terms of tuning microstructure, native defects, doping, anisotropy, and micro‐ and nano‐structuring. The review focuses on their light emission, light‐confinement in optical cavities, and
