Microvesicles and exosomes: new players in metabolic and cardiovascular disease [PDF]
, 2016 The past decade has witnessed an exponential increase in the number of publications referring to extracellular vesicles (EVs). For many years considered to be extracellular debris, EVs are now seen as novel mediators of endocrine signalling via cell-to ...

A noninvasive method for measuring mammary apoptosis and epithelial cell activation in dairy animals using microparticles extracted from milk [PDF]
, 2014 Milk production from dairy animals has been described in terms of 3 processes: the increase in secretory cell numbers in late pregnancy and early lactation, secretion rate of milk per cell, and the decline in cell numbers as lactation progresses.

Therapeutic microparticles functionalized with biomimetic cardiac stem cell membranes and secretome
Nature Communications, 2017 Stem cell therapy represents a promising strategy in regenerative medicine. However, cells need to be carefully preserved and processed before usage. In addition, cell transplantation carries immunogenicity and/or tumourigenicity risks. Mounting lines of

Off-axis optical trapping and transverse spinning of metallic microparticles with a linearly polarized Gaussian beam [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Optical trapping of metallic microparticles remains a big challenge because of the strong scattering and absorption of light by the particles. In the paper, we report a new mechanism for stable trapping of metallic microparticles by using a tightly focused linearly polarized Gaussian spot.

Detection of a single cobalt microparticle with a microfabricated atomic magnetometer [PDF]
, 2011 We present magnetic detection of a single, 2 {\mu}m diameter cobalt microparticle using an atomic magnetometer based on a microfabricated vapor cell. These results represent an improvement by a factor of 105 in terms of the detected magnetic moment over previous work using atomic magnetometers to detect magnetic microparticles. The improved sensitivity
