Perspectives of cellular communication through tunneling nanotubes in cancer cells and the connection to radiation effects

Abstract Direct cell-to-cell communication is crucial for the survival of cells in stressful situations such as during or after radiation exposure. This communication can lead to non-targeted effects, where non-treated or non-infected cells show effects induced by signal transduction from non-health...
