Tunneling nanotube–like structures regulate distant cellular interactions during heart formation | Science

In the developing mammalian heart, the endocardium and the myocardium are separated by so-called cardiac jelly. Communication between the endocardium and the myocardium is essential for cardiac morphogenesis. How membrane-localized receptors and ligands … In the developing mammalian heart, the endocardium and the myocardium are separated by so-called cardiac jelly.
