Centrosome structure and microtubule nucleation in animal cells.

abstract：BACKGROUND INFORMATION:In a previous study, we demonstrated that human neutrophils can develop membrane tubulovesicular extensions (TVEs) that are 160-250 nm in width and several micrometres long. These extensions, or cytonemes, are capable of establishing long-range contacts with other cells or bacteria. Cytonemes con...
