Astrocyte-to-neuron transportation of enhanced green fluorescent protein in cerebral cortex requires F-actin dependent tunneling nanotubes

Abstract Tunneling nanotube (TNT), a dynamic cell–cell contact, is dependent on actin polymerization. TNTs are efficient in transporting ions, proteins and organelles intercellularly, which are important mechanisms in physiological and pathological processes. Reported studies on the existence and fu...
