Description of the research topic:
Membrane nanotubes are long, temporary membrane protrusions, providing more than physical connections between cells. Membrane nanotubes are described as direct communication pathways between certain cells (T-lymphocyte, neuran cells, kidney cells, myeloid cells, some cancer cells) transporting different matters or chemical signals. In the last few years nanotubes have quickly gained interest demonstrating a capability of spreading diseases among cells avoiding activation of the immune system. Viruses, prions, different cell organelles, membrane surface proteins, lipids have been identified to migrate between cells using membrane nanotubes. Our aim is to reveal molecular processes and interactions in the formation and function of membrane nanotubes.
