How can you use “tnts” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

Aiming to investigate how TNTs were linking cells, the authors performed scanning and transmission electron microscopy of TNTs.
They observed a seamless transition between TNTs and the cells they were connected to, suggesting that indeed there was continuity between the membranes of the two connected cells.
Strikingly, soluble cytoplasmic molecules could not pass freely along the TNTs (with actin tagged with green fluorescent protein being the only exception), whereas membrane-bound proteins were transferred along TNTs and detected in the receiving cells, further supporting the likelihood of membrane continuity between connected cells.
The researchers also confirmed the existence of TNTs in a human cell line (human embryonic kidney cells) and rat primary cells (normal rat kidney cells), suggesting that TNTs are not a peculiarity of PC12 cells.
TNTs could be distinct from the protrusions known so far and could be responsible for establishing another type of connection between cells.
