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‐cell communication is an essential aspect of multicellular life, key for coordinating cell
proliferation, growth, and death in response to environmental changes. Whilst caspases are …

Estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer commonly disseminates to bone marrow,
where interactions with mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) shape disease trajectory. We …

Background The discovery of material transfer between transplanted and host mouse
photoreceptors has expanded the possibilities for utilizing transplanted photoreceptors as …

Tunneling nanotubes (TNTs) are essential intercellular communication channels that
significantly impact cancer pathophysiology, affecting tumor progression and resistance …

Short-read RNA-Seq analyses of grafted plants have led to the proposal that large numbers
of mRNAs move over long distances between plant tissues, acting as potential signals. The …

Inter-cellular transmission of mRNA is being explored in mammalian species using immortal
cell lines (1–3). Here, we uncover an inter-cellular mRNA transfer phenomenon that allows …

The prevalence and significance of intercellular mRNA transport remains unknown. Direct
detection of mRNA transfer between cells within an organism is challenging due to technical …

There is growing evidence that full-length mRNAs undergo intercellular transfer through
long, thin cytoplasmic connections called tunneling nanotubes (TNTs), but whether …

Prokaryotic organisms rely on polycistronic transcription (ie operons) to express multiple
mRNAs from a single promoter, enabling rapid and robust responses to stimuli. In yeast, a …
