Renowned Li Yu discovered and lectures on migrasomes. Li Yu is a professor in the School of Life Sciences at Tsinghua University.
Description of the seminar:
Cells communicate with each other through secreting and releasing proteins and vesicles. Many cells can migrate. Recently, we report the discovery of migrasomes, a new organella for cell-cell communication. In this talk, Li Yu will discuss recent progress on the mechanism of migrasome biogenesis and the role of migrasome in various biological processes including mitochondria quality control, early embryonic development and angiogenesis. Finally, he will discuss the possible therapeutic potential of migrasome.
