Cell-cell nanotubes <subtitle>Tunneling through several types of synapses</subtitle>

Nanotube can be generally seen as a nanoscale cylindrical structure. Membrane (or tunneling) nanotube (TNT) is a cytoplasmic tunnel between two cells. Such direct cell-cell channel is used for a physical transport of biochemical cargo, whereas nanotubular networks between cells may be a novel princi...
