Figure 5. Telopode‐telopode contact. Most of the CTs link with other CTs via connections between the far ends of their telopodes (A‐C). Two types of telopode‐telopode contacts are observed: (1) a gap‐junction–like structure coming into nanometer‐range contact, in which some areas make nanometer‐range contact and other areas have a structure resembling one to two gap junctions (white arrow); (2) a nanometer‐range contact that does not have a well‐established junction at the far end of the telopodes in which two telopodes closely connect at a distance of approximately 1‐2 nm (white small triangle). Scale bar: Size as shown in the figures. C: Collagen and extracellular matrix; M: Cardiomyocyte; Tp: Telopode Image published in: Lv L et al. (2020) © 2020 The Authors.
