Migrasomes as intercellular messengers: potential in the pathological mechanism, diagnosis and treatment of clinical diseases.

Migrasomes are newly identified organelles that were first discovered in 2015. Since then, their biological structure, formation process, and physiological functions have been gradually elucidated. Research in recent years has expanded our understanding of these aspects, highlighting their significance in various physiological and pathological processes. Migrasomes have been found to play crucial roles in normal physiological functions, including embryonic development, vascular homeostasis, material transport, and mitochondrial quality control. Additionally, emerging evidence suggests their involvement in various diseases; however, clinical research on their roles remains limited. Current studies indicate that migrasomes may contribute to disease pathogenesis and hold potential for diagnostic and therapeutic applications. This review consolidates existing clinical research on migrasomes, focusing on their role in disease mechanisms and their use in medical applications. By examining their biological structure and function, this review aims to generate insights that encourage further research, ultimately contributing to advancements in disease prevention and treatment.
