Role of Microparticles in Sepsis [PDF]
This review discusses the role of microparticles in inflammation, coagulation, vascular function, and most importantly, their physiological and pathological functions in sepsis. Microparticles are proinflammatory, procoagulant membrane vesicles released from various cell types. They are detectable in normal individuals and basal levels correlate with a

Hydrogel microparticles for biosensing [PDF]
Due to their hydrophilic, biocompatible, and highly tunable nature, hydrogel materials have attracted strong interest in the recent years for numerous biotechnological applications. In particular, their solution-like environment and non-fouling nature in complex biological samples render hydrogels as ideal substrates for biosensing applications ...

β-thalassemia major (β-TM) is a therapeutically challenging chronic disease in which ineffective erythropoiesis is a main pathophysiological factor. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membrane-enclosed vesicles released by cells into biological fluids ...

HIV viral load is more reliable tool for monitoring treatment throughout the course of HIV/AIDS, but the test may be expensive in resource-limited settings. Therefore, enumeration of CD4 T-lymphocyte count remains important in these settings.

Microparticles in Cancer [PDF]
Microparticles (MP) are vesicular structures released from cells upon activation, malignant transformation, stress, or death. MP may be derived from the plasma membrane (shed microvesicles), produced by endosomal pathway (exosomes), or arise from membrane blebs of apoptotic cells. The terms microparticles or microvesicles (MV) are often used as general

Research on a MEMS Microparticles Vacuum Chamber for Optical Levitation with a Built-In Vacuum Gauge
The vacuum chamber is an important part of microparticle optical levitation technology. The traditional vacuum chamber has a large volume and many peripheral components, which cannot meet the requirements of miniaturization and on-chip optical levitation

On the Trail of Microparticles [PDF]
Stimulation of a variety of cell types leads to the release of submicron vesicles that bud off from the plasma membrane. These so-called microparticles (MPs) or microvesicles are defined by their small size (0.1 to 1 μm) and the presence of surface antigens from the parental cells.1,2 MPs contribute to a variety of physiological and pathological ...

It is unknown if surface bound toll-like-receptor (TLR) agonists activate cells via density or total molecular number. To answer this question, we developed a TLR agonist surface conjugated polystyrene microparticle (MP) system.

Microparticles in Hemostasis and Thrombosis [PDF]
Blood contains microparticles (MPs) derived from a variety of cell types, including platelets, monocytes, and endothelial cells. In addition, tumors release MPs into the circulation. MPs are formed from membrane blebs that are released from the cell surface by proteolytic cleavage of the cytoskeleton.
