On the Trail of Microparticles [PDF]
Circulation Research, 2009 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. MPs contribute to a variety of physiological and pathological processes.

Diversity of extracellular vesicles in human ejaculates revealed by cryo-electron microscopy [PDF]
Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, 2015 Human ejaculates contain extracellular vesicles (EVs), that to a large extent are considered to originate from the prostate gland, and are often denominated “prostasomes.” These EVs are important for human fertility, for example by promoting sperm ...

Research on a MEMS Microparticles Vacuum Chamber for Optical Levitation with a Built-In Vacuum Gauge
Photonics, 2022 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

Role of Microparticles in Sepsis [PDF]
Survey of Anesthesiology, 2012 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

Near-Field Nano-Focusing and Nano-Imaging of Dielectric Microparticle Lenses
NanomaterialsCompared with traditional far-field objective lenses, microparticle lenses have a distinct advantage of nonobservance of the diffraction limit, which has attracted extensive attention for its application in subwavelength photolithography and super ...
