Microparticles are fragments released from the plasma membrane of most stimulated or
apoptotic cells. After having long been considered inert cell debris, of possible value for the …

Cell membrane microparticles (MPs) circulate in the blood of healthy donors, and their
elevated counts have been documented in various pathologies. Microparticles are …

Endothelial microparticles (EMP) are small vesicles released from disturbed endothelial
cells (EC). Owing to the central importance of EC injury in thrombotic and inflammatory …

Background: Endothelial membrane microparticles (EMP) in plasma are elevated in several
vascular diseases. Objectives: To test the hypothesis that EMP would be increased in …

Angiogenesis critically sustains the progression of both physiological and pathological
processes. Copper behaves as an obligatory co-factor throughout the angiogenic signalling …

CD36 is a scavenger receptor that binds multiple ligands, including phosphatidyl serine
(PS). Although CD36–mice do not have a bleeding diathesis, we show here that they do …

Background: Endothelial activation and dysfunction are associated with several diseases.
However, hardly any specific markers are available. Microparticles (MP) from endothelial …

We analysed endothelial cell membrane microparticles (ECMP) in the peripheral blood of
patients with paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria (PNH)(n= 9), aplastic anaemia (AA)(n …

Prion diseases are induced by pathologically misfolded prion protein (PrPSc), which recruit
normal sialoglycoprotein PrPC by a template-directed process. In this study, we investigated …

Submicron-sized extra-cellular vesicles generated by budding from the external cell
membranes, microparticles (MPs) are important actors in transfusion as well as in other …
