TITLE:
Migrasome, from basic biology to therapeutic potentials
ABSTRACT:
Cells communicate with one another by secreting and releasing proteins and vesicles, and many possess the ability to migrate. In 2015, we discovered migracytosis, a mechanism for the release of cellular contents that depends on cell migration, and identified migrasomes, the vesicular structures that facilitate this process. In this seminar, I will discuss our recent advancements in understanding the mechanisms of migrasome biogenesis and their roles in various biological processes, with a particular emphasis on the roles of migrasome in the immune system.
