This project explores tunneling nanotubes (TNTs), which are thin membrane channels facilitating communication between cells. The research focuses on understanding the mechanisms of TNT-mediated transport of various cargoes, including signaling molecules and pathogens, to uncover their roles in cell interactions.
Tunneling nanotubes (TNTs), recently discovered thin membrane channels connecting distant cells, represent the underlying structure of a previously unrecognized type of cell-to-cell communication.
To date, a growing number of cell types have been found to use TNTs for the intercellular exchange of diverse cargoes ranging from cytoplasmic signalling molecules such as calcium ions to small vesicles of endocytic origin.
During the past year, pathogens such as the human immunodeficiency virus and pr…
