A transwell assay that excludes exosomes for assessment of tunneling nanotube-mediated intercellular communication

Abstract Background Tunneling nanotubes (TNTs) are naturally-occurring filamentous actin-based membranous extensions that form across a wide spectrum of mammalian cell types to facilitate long-range intercellular communication. Valid assays are needed to accurately assess the downstream effects of T...
