Talk Title: Cellular networking via tunneling nanotubes in ovarian cancer
Description:
Intercellular communication play a crucial role in shaping tumor heterogeneity in a spectrum of invasive and aggressive solid tumor malignancies, including ovarian cancer. This presentation will focus on the role of tunneling nanotubes (TNTs), long cellular protrusions that act as skyways to create cellular networks for communication and coordination, in this process, resulting in tumor-stroma cross talk in the complex and heterogeneous ovarian tumor microenvironment.
