Nanotube Action between Human Mesothelial Cells Reveals Novel Aspects of Inflammatory Responses
27 Dec 2011
Abstract excerpt
A well-known role of human peritoneal mesothelial cells (HPMCs), the resident cells of the peritoneal cavity, is the generation of an immune response during peritonitis by activation of T-cells via antigen presentation. Recent findings have shown that intercellular nanotubes (NTs) mediate functional connectivity between various cell types including immune cells - such as T-cells, natural killer (NK) cells or...
