Extracellular vesicles are cell-derived membrane particles ranging from 30 to 5,000 nm in
size, including exosomes, microvesicles, and apoptotic bodies. They are released under …

Endogenous DNA is primarily found intracellularly in nuclei and mitochondria. However,
extracellular, cell-free (cf) DNA, has been observed in several pathological conditions …

The discovery that submicron-sized extracellular vesicles (EVs) are generated by both
prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells might have a profound effect on experimental and clinical …

Release of membrane vesicles, a process conserved in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes,
represents an evolutionary link, and suggests essential functions of a dynamic extracellular …

Abstract" Serum ferritin" presents a paradox, as the iron storage protein ferritin is not
synthesised in serum yet is to be found there. Serum ferritin is also a well known …

Interest in cell-derived extracellular vesicles and their physiological and pathological
implications is constantly growing. Microvesicles, also known as microparticles, are small …

Despite significant evidence implicating an important role for neutrophils in thrombosis, their
impact on the thrombotic process has remained a matter of controversy. Until 2010, platelets …

Membrane microparticles are submicron fragments of membrane shed into extracellular
space from cells under conditions of stress/injury. They may be distinguished from other …

Extracellular vesicles are heterogeneous populations of naturally occurring secreted small
vesicles. EVs function as signaling platforms to facilitate intracellular communication, which …

Immunoglobulins, antigens and complement can assemble to form immune complexes (IC).
ICs can be detrimental as they propagate inflammation in autoimmune diseases. Like ICs …
