The ins and outs of microvesicles [PDF]
Microvesicles are a heterogeneous group of membrane‐enclosed vesicles that are released from cells into the extracellular space by the outward budding and pinching of the plasma membrane.

Blood Cell-Derived Microvesicles in Hematological Diseases and beyond
Microvesicles or ectosomes represent a major type of extracellular vesicles that are formed by outward budding of the plasma membrane. Typically, they are bigger than exosomes but smaller than apoptotic vesicles, although they may overlap with both in ...

The biology of extracellular microvesicles [PDF]
The study of extracellular vesicles (EVs) is a rapidly evolving field, owing in large part to recent advances in the realization of their significant contributions to normal physiology and disease. Once discredited as cell debris, these membrane vesicles have now emerged as mediators of intercellular communication by interaction with target cells, drug

Extracellular vesicles: Exosomes, microvesicles, and friends [PDF]
Cells release into the extracellular environment diverse types of membrane vesicles of endosomal and plasma membrane origin called exosomes and microvesicles, respectively.

Biology and biogenesis of shed microvesicles [PDF]
The ability of cells to transmit bioactive molecules to recipient cells and the extracellular environment is a fundamental requirement for both normal physiology and disease pathogenesis.

Microvesicles and exosomes: new players in metabolic and cardiovascular disease [PDF]
The past decade has witnessed an exponential increase in the number of publications referring to extracellular vesicles (EVs). For many years considered to be extracellular debris, EVs are now seen as novel mediators of endocrine signalling via cell-to ...

Microvesicles are small lipid, bilayer structures (20-400 nm in diameter) secreted by bacteria, fungi, archaea and parasites involved in inter-bacterial communication and host-pathogen interactions. Lactobacillus reuteri DSM-17938 (DSM) has been shown to

Platelet microvesicles in health and disease
Interest in cell-derived extracellular vesicles and their physiological and pathological implications is constantly growing. Microvesicles, also known as microparticles, are small extracellular vesicles released by cells in response to activation or apoptosis.
