Multi-Level Communication of Human Retinal Pigment Epithelial Cells via Tunneling Nanotubes

BACKGROUND: Tunneling nanotubes (TNTs) may offer a very specific and effective way of intercellular communication. Here we investigated TNTs in the human retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cell line ARPE-19. Morphology of TNTs was examined by immunostaining and scanning electron microscopy. To determi...
