Emergence of tunneling nanotube-like intervesicular connections

2026-08-11

Abstract excerpt

Tunneling nanotubes (TNTs) are actin-supported membrane bridges that mediate long-range intercellular communication and direct transfer of signaling molecules, organelles, and pathogenic cargo, yet the physicochemical mechanisms underlying their formation and organization remain poorly understood. Here we show that TNT-like intervesicular connections emerge from minimal physicochemical interactions between actin f...
