OBS

Les tubes membranaires sont des structures dynamiques communément observées dans les cellules vivantes. Ils constituent des passages pour les molécules, interconnectant les organites et même les cellules. De telles structures ont d'ailleurs été reproduites in vitro avec des vésicules géantes, petits ballons constitués simplement d'une bicouche lipidique comme les membranes cellulaires. Les tubes membranaires sont aussi impliqués dans la réponse inflammatoire, permettant aux leucocytes et aux plaquettes transportés par le flux sanguin de ralentir et s'arrêter en s'accrochant sur les parois des vaisseaux.
