General Information
Term cytospinule ID (Ontology) GO:0160231 (Gene Ontology)
Definition An actin-based cell projection extending laterally from the basolateral membrane of tuft cells in epithelial tissues, including the intestinal epithelium. These thin projections, typically 3-4 per cell and up to 3 micron long, directly contact the nuclei of adjacent epithelial cells, potentially facilitating intercellular communication and molecular exchange.[ PubMed:28490731 PubMed:37863104 ]
