# Blebbisomes as autonomous communication hubs

## TL;DR

Blebbisomes are special vesicles that act as communication hubs between cells by taking in and releasing other vesicles.

## Contribution

The paper introduces blebbisomes as novel extracellular vesicles capable of internalizing and secreting other vesicles.

## Key findings

- Blebbisomes are a new class of large extracellular vesicles.
- They can internalize and secrete other extracellular vesicles.
- They function as intermediaries in intercellular communication.

## Abstract

Blebbisomes represent a newly identified class of large extracellular vesicles (EVs) that exhibit unique functional capabilities in intercellular communication. Beyond their motility, blebbisomes engage in complex vesicle trafficking functions. Strikingly, they are capable of both internalizing and secreting other EVs, essentially acting as intermediaries or “hubs” in intercellular communication networks.
