Seeing eye to eye: photoreceptors employ nanotube‐like connections for material transfer
Résumé
Cytoskeletal protrusions are emerging as key elements in the development of cellular networks through which material is readily exchanged. In parallel studies, Ortin-Martinez et al (2021) and Kalargyrou et al (2021) report for the first time a direct transfer of cytoplasmic and membrane-bound material between photoreceptors through nanotube-like connections, providing further evidence toward the existence of nanotube-mediated material transfer in vivo within the central nervous system.
