Microparticles and Fibrinolysis [PDF]
Seminars in Thrombosis and Hemostasis, 2016 Microparticles (MPs) are submicronic vesicles which are formed by budding of the cellular membrane of virtually any cell type in response to cell activation or apoptosis. Both circulating MPs and MPs generated within tissues harbor molecules with a large repertoire of biological activities and transfer material to target cells.
