TNT‐Induced Phagocytosis: Tunneling Nanotubes Mediate the Transfer of Pro‐Phagocytic Signals From Apoptotic to Viable Cells

The exposure of phosphatidylserine (PS) on the surface membrane of apoptotic cells triggers the recruitment of phagocytic receptors and subsequently results in uptake by phagocytes. Here we describe how apoptotic cells can use intercellular membrane nanotubes to transfer exposed PS to neighboring vi...
