Les nanotubes à effet tunnel (TNT) sont principalement des nanotubes à membrane F-actine ouverts qui relient les cellules voisines, facilitant ainsi la communication intercellulaire. La caractéristique notable qui distingue les TNT des autres protubérances cellulaires est la nature planante des nanotubes entre les cellules. Ici, nous caractérisons les TNT en construisant une vue de volume 3D d’images confocales z-stack.
