Mammalian genes were long thought to be constrained within somatic cells in most cell
types. This concept was challenged recently when cellular organelles including …

Messenger RNAs (mRNAs) in multicellular organisms can act as signals transported cell-to-
cell and over long distances. In plants, mRNAs traffic cell-to-cell via plasmodesmata (PDs) …

Cell-to-cell communication is essential for the development and proper function of
multicellular systems. We and others demonstrated that tunneling nanotubes (TNT) …

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT), or lateral gene transfer, is the non-sexual movement of
genetic information between genomes. It has played a pronounced part in bacterial and …

Tunneling nanotubes (TNTs) are thin, F-actin-based membranous protrusions that connect
distant cells and can provide ea novel mechanism for intercellular communication. By …

The tumor microenvironment (TME) in liver cancers such as hepatocellular cancer (HCC)
consists of a complex milieu of liver tissue-resident cells, infiltrated immune cells, and …

Simple Summary This review highlights the role of tunneling nanotubes (TNTs) and TNT-like
structures in the nervous system. TNTs are thin, hollow plasma membrane projections that …

Full-length mRNAs transfer between adjacent mammalian cells via direct cell-to-cell
connections called tunneling nanotubes (TNTs). However, the extent of mRNA transfer at the …

Progressive development of pathology is one of the major characteristic features of
neurodegenerative diseases. Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most prevalent among them …

For decades, platelets have been known for their central role in hemostasis and their ability
to release bioactive molecules, allowing inter-platelet communication and crosstalk with the …
