Tunneling nanotubes regulate mitochondrial homeostasis between glioblastoma and astrocytes, and between tumor cells in vivo

Tumor progression is driven by cancer cells’ ability to establish a cellular network through tunneling nanotube-like connections (TNTs), which enable mitochondrial exchange both within the tumor cells and with the tumor microenvironment (TME). However, the functional consequences of mitochondrial transfer between tumor...
