Cytonemes in development

Cell–cell communication is essential during the development of multicellular organisms. Specialized cell protrusions called cytonemes have been identified to exchange signals between cells that are vital for tissue development. Cytonemes can carry signalling components between distant cells and thus...

description Cell–cell communication is essential during the development of multicellular organisms. Specialized cell protrusions called cytonemes have been identified to exchange signals between cells that are vital for tissue development. Cytonemes can carry signalling components between distant cells and thus regulate the activity levels of the corresponding signalling pathways across entire tissues. This review summarizes the key findings on the formation and function of cytonemes in tissue development.
