Intercellular Transfer of PTBP1 Drives Human Neural Stem Cell Fate

Diletta Lucia Capobianco, F. Di Palma, Ermes Filomena, Claudia Lasconi, Chrysovalentinos Pousis, Leda Simeone, Francesca Proto, Daniela Celeste Profico, Maurizio Gelati, Ernesto Picardi, Graziano Pesole, Angelo Luigi Vescovi, Maria Svelto, Laura Simone, Anna Maria D’Erchia, Francesco Pisani

This study identifies PTBP1's role in human neural stem cell fate by showing it can be transferred between cells via tunneling nanotubes and extracellular vesicles, affecting proliferation and differentiation.

Tunneling Nanotubes Between Bone Marrow Stromal Cells Support Transmitophagy and Resistance to Apoptosis in Myeloma

Antonio Giovanni Solimando, Francesco Di Palma, Vanessa Desantis, Angelo Vacca, Maria Svelto, Francesco Pisani

The paper shows myeloma cells transfer dysfunctional mitochondria to BMSCs via tunneling nanotubes, enabling transmitophagy and resistance to apoptosis under OGD.

TUNNELING NANOTUBES CONNECT BLOOD-BRAIN BARRIER CELLS: ROLE OF PERICYTES IN BARRIER PRESERVATION DURING ISCHEMIA

Francesco Pisani, Valentina Castagnola, Laura Simone, Fabrizio Loiacono, Maria Svelto, Fabio Benfenati

This study shows that tunneling nanotubes (TNTs) enable mitochondrial transfer between BBB cells, rescuing astrocytes from ischemia/reperfusion-induced apoptosis and highlighting pericytes' role in BBB preservation.
