Matrix as an Interstitial Transport System (2014, background): “TNTs containing only F-actin are ultrafine with a diameter of 50 to 200 nm, which can only allow unidirectional movement of smaller molecules and organelles.(164) Thicker nanotubes (diameter>700 nm) contain microtubules in addition to F-actin, and their larger diameter allows bidirectional transport”

Biological Physics of the Developing Embryo (2005, unknown): “They can link up with each other using long, tenuous, filopodial extensions known as cytonemes (Ramirez-Weber and Kornberg, 1999; Bryant, 1999), which can form gap junctions at their sites of contact or thin nanometer-diameter membrane tethers (Rustom et al., 2004).”
