Sustained release of cytokines from migrasomes

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.
