Abstract: Bacteria use elaborate molecular machines for intercellular contact-dependent interactions. We discuss a relatively less explored type of intercellular connections mediated by tubular membranous bridges, termed nanotubes. Increasing evidence suggests that nanotube structures mediate cytoplasmic molecular… read more here.

Abstract: Bacterial nanotubes are tubular membranous structures bulging from the cell surface that can connect neighboring bacteria for the exchange of intercellular substances. However, little is known about the formation and function of bacterial nanotubes under… read more here.
