The migrasome, an organelle for cell-cell communication.

Abstract

Migrasomes, newly identified extracellular organelles produced by migrating cells, are observed widely across both in vivo and in vitro studies. These organelles, rich in signaling and bioactive molecules, are pivotal in a range of physiological functions. This opinion summarizes current understanding of migrasomes, highlighting their importance as a versatile mechanism for cell-cell communication. Furthermore, it examines their roles in health and disease and potential diagnostic and therapeutic applications, and addresses the emerging challenges and open questions in this developing field.
