The past decade has seen an explosion of research directed toward better understanding of
the mechanisms of mesenchymal stem/stromal cell (MSC) function during rescue and repair …

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 …

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 …

Synucleinopathies such as Parkinson's disease are characterized by the pathological
deposition of misfolded α‐synuclein aggregates into inclusions throughout the central and …

While HIV-1 infection of target cells with cell-free viral particles has been largely
documented, intercellular transmission through direct cell-to-cell contact may be a …

The accumulation of α-synuclein (α-syn) aggregates in specific brain regions is a hallmark of
synucleinopathies including Parkinson disease (PD). α-Syn aggregates propagate in a …

The mechanisms of intercellular spreading of amyloidogenic proteins involved in
neurodegenerative diseases have yet to be fully elucidated. While secretion has been …

Tunneling nanotubes (TNTs) are recently discovered thin membranous tubes that
interconnect cells. During the last decade, research has shown TNTs to be diverse in …

Intercellular communication among cancer cells and their microenvironment is crucial to
disease progression. The mechanisms by which communication occurs between distant …

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) cells reside in the bone marrow microenvironment
which nurtures and protects cells from chemotherapeutic drugs. The disruption of cell-cell …
