Cytonemes and tunneling nanotubules in cell–cell communication and viral pathogenesis

Cells use a variety of intercellular structures, including gap junctions and synapses, for cell–cell communication. Here, we present recent advances in the understanding of thin membrane bridges that function in cell–cell signaling and intercellular transport. Cytonemes or filopodial bridges connect...
