Bridges and communication! Tunnelling nanotubes (TNTs) are actin-based cell protrusions that connect neighbouring cells. Korenkova et al. now characterize TNTs in live zebrafish embryos!
Their findings suggest a functional role for TNTs in living organisms, broadening our understanding of intercellular communication during development. Highlighted by Lisa Heinke, in the Nature
