Cytonemes, Their Formation, Regulation, and Roles in Signaling and Communication in Tumorigenesis
Increasing evidence during the past two decades shows that cells interconnect and communicate through cytonemes. These cytoskeleton-driven extensions of specialized membrane territories are involved in cell−cell signaling in development, patterning, and differentiation, but also in the mai...
