Duality of β-glucan microparticles: antigen carrier and immunostimulants [PDF]
, 2016 Designing efficient recombinant mucosal vaccines against enteric diseases is still a major challenge. Mucosal delivery of recombinant vaccines requires encapsulation in potent immunostimulatory particles to induce an efficient immune response. This paper

The volatile anesthetic isoflurane increases endothelial adenosine generation via microparticle ecto-5'-nucleotidase (CD73) release. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Endothelial dysfunction is common in acute and chronic organ injury. Isoflurane is a widely used halogenated volatile anesthetic during the perioperative period and protects against endothelial cell death and inflammation.

Microparticles: potential new contributors to the pathogenesis of systemic sclerosis?
Advances in Rheumatology, 2023 Background Microparticles (MPs) are membrane-derived vesicles released from cells undergoing activation or apoptosis with diverse proinflammatory and prothrombotic activities, that have been implicated in the pathogenesis of systemic sclerosis (SSc).

Filamin-A is required for the incorporation of tissue factor into cell-derived microvesicles [PDF]
, 2013 We previously reported that the incorporation of tissue factor (TF) into cell-derived microvesicles (MVs) is regulated by the phosphorylation of the cytoplasmic domain of TF.

Leukocyte- and endothelial-derived microparticles: a circulating source for fibrinolysis
Haematologica, 2012 Background We recently assigned a new fibrinolytic function to cell-derived microparticles in vitro. In this study we explored the relevance of this novel property of microparticles to the in vivo situation.Design and Methods Circulating microparticles ...

Glycoxidated ferritin induces the release of microparticles positive for Toll-like receptors derived from peripheral blood CD14+ cells [PDF]
Archives of Biological Sciences, 2017 Both increased serum ferritin levels and Toll-like receptor (TLR) activation show independent association with the inflammatory processes. During inflammation, cell activation and apoptosis are accompanied by the release of membrane-derived ...

Intravascular tissue factor initiates coagulation via circulating microvesicles and platelets [PDF]
, 2003 Although tissue factor (TF), the principial initiator of physiological coagulation and pathological thrombosis, has recently been proposed to be present in human blood, the functional significance and location of the intravascular TF is unknown.

Microparticles as Potential Biomarkers of Cardiovascular Disease
Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia, 2015 Primary prevention of cardiovascular disease is a choice of great relevance because of its impact on health. Some biomarkers, such as microparticles derived from different cell populations, have been considered useful in the assessment of cardiovascular ...

Immune cell-derived microparticles in polymyositis/dermatomyositis [PDF]
Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases, 2010 Microparticles are recently recognised players of intercellular communication. They are involved in signal transduction, cell activation and apoptosis. Their importance is also suggested in autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and systemic sclerosis. We investigated the role of microparticles in polymyositis/dermatomyositis, a group of rare
