Sustained release of cytokines from migrasomes

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Cytokines are released by cells in response to infections and tissue damage. A recent paper by Jiao et al . demonstrates that circulating monocytes release the cytokines tumor necrosis factor and Interleukin-6 encapsulated in large extracellular vesicles called migrasomes, from which the cytokines are secreted locally in a sustained fashion.
