Multifaceted roles of tunneling nanotubes in intercellular communication

Cell-to-cell communication and exchange of materials are vital processes in multicellular organisms during cell development, cell repair and cell survival. In neuronal and immunological cells, intercellular transmission between neighboring cells occurs via different complex junctions or synapses. R...
