Description:
Article Cancer cells and stromal cells have been shown to pass cellular information between each other via exosomes. Here, the authors demonstrate that cancer cells can communicate with endothelial cells through nanoscale membrane bridges, and demonstrate that microRNAs are passed through these nanobridges, which modulates endothelial cell phenotype.
