Delivery of chemotherapeutic drugs in tumour cell-derived microparticles [PDF]
Cellular microparticles are vesicular plasma membrane fragments with a diameter of 100-1,000 nanometres that are shed by cells in response to various physiological and artificial stimuli. Here we demonstrate that tumour cell-derived microparticles can be used as vectors to deliver chemotherapeutic drugs.

Mesenchymal stem cell-derived microparticles: a promising therapeutic strategy. [PDF]
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent stem cells that give rise to various cell types of the mesodermal germ layer. Because of their unique ability to home in on injured and cancerous tissues, MSCs are of great potential in regenerative medicine.

Macrophages Discriminate Glycosylation Patterns of Apoptotic Cell-derived Microparticles [PDF]
Inappropriate clearance of apoptotic remnants is considered to be the primary cause of systemic autoimmune diseases, like systemic lupus erythematosus. Here we demonstrate that apoptotic cells release distinct types of subcellular membranous particles (scMP) derived from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) or the plasma membrane.

Tumor cell-derived microparticles: a new form of cancer vaccine. [PDF]
For cancer vaccines, tumor antigen availability is currently not an issue due to technical advances. However, the generation of optimal immune stimulation during vaccination is challenging. We have recently demonstrated that tumor cell-derived microparticles (MP) can function as a new form of potent cancer vaccine by efficiently activating type I ...

Endothelial Cell–Derived Microparticles in Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Recipients
BACKGROUND: Alterations of microparticles derived from different cell types are described in a number of diseases associated with inflammation and hemostatic disorders. METHODS: In this prospective study, we firstly analyzed endothelial cell derived microparticles (EMP) in 19 hematopoietic stem cell recipients. Cultured human umbilical vein endothelial
