| Abstract |
The tunneling nanotube (TNT) is a newly discovered, long and thin tubular structure between cells. In this study, we established a co-culture system for rat primary astrocytes and C6 glioma cells and found that TNTs formed between them. Most of the TNTs initiated from astrocytes towards C6 glioma cells. The formation of TNTs depended on p53. In addition, hydrogen peroxide increased the number of TNTs in the co-culture system. Established TNTs reduced the proliferation of C6 glioma cells. Our data suggest that TNTs between astrocytes and glioma cells facilitate substance transfer and therefore alter the properties, including the proliferation potential, of glioma cells. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 30 April 2015.
All research outputs
#18,407,102
of 22,800,560 outputs
Outputs from Neuroscience Bulletin
#491
of 767 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#193,139
of 265,105 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Neuroscience Bulletin
#6
of 10 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,800,560 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 767 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.0. This one is in the 15th percentile – i.e., 15% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 265,105 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 15th percentile – i.e., 15% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 10 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 4 of them.
