Immune escape is a hallmark of cancer. The dynamic and heterogeneous tumour
microenvironment (TME) causes insufficient infiltration and poor efficacy of natural killer (NK) …

NKG2D is an activating receptor expressed by all NK cells and subsets of T cells. It serves
as a major recognition receptor for detection and elimination of transformed and infected …

Maternal decidual NK (dNK) cells promote placentation, but how they protect against
placental infection while maintaining fetal tolerance is unclear. Here we show that human …

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are considered to hold great therapeutic value for cell-
based therapy and for tissue regeneration in particular. Recent evidence indicates that the …

An emerging concept is that cellular communication in mammals can be mediated by the
exchange of genetic information, mainly in the form of microRNAs. This can occur when …

In recent years, roles of the immune system in immune surveillance of cancer have been
explored using a variety of approaches. The roles of the adaptive immune system have been …

A given cell makes exchanges with its neighbors through a variety of means ranging from
diffusible factors to vesicles. Cells use also tunneling nanotubes (TNTs), filamentous-actin …

Mesenchymal stem cells can be used as a novel treatment of ischemic vascular disease;
however, their therapeutic effect and mechanism of action require further evaluation …

Abstract The identification of Tunneling Nanotubes (TNTs) and TNT‐like structures signified
a critical turning point in the field of cell‐cell communication. With hypothesized roles in …

Tunneling nanotubes (TNTs) represent a subset of F-actin-based transient tubular
connections that allow direct communication between distant cells. Recent studies have …
