Microvesicles and Viral Infection [PDF]
Journal of Virology, 2011 ABSTRACTCells secrete various membrane-enclosed microvesicles from their cell surface (shedding microvesicles) and from internal, endosome-derived membranes (exosomes). Intriguingly, these vesicles have many characteristics in common with enveloped viruses, including biophysical properties, biogenesis, and uptake by cells. Recent discoveries describing

Neutrophil microvesicles and their role in disease [PDF]
The International Journal of Biochemistry & Cell Biology, 2021 Microvesicles are formed through shedding from the plasma membrane, a process shared by almost all human cells. Microvesicles are highly abundant and have been detected in blood, urine, cerebrospinal fluid, and saliva. They contain a library of cargo derived from their parental cell during formation, including proteases, micro-RNAs and lipids and ...

Transfer of microRNAs by embryonic stem cell microvesicles. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 Microvesicles are plasma membrane-derived vesicles released into the extracellular environment by a variety of cell types. Originally characterized from platelets, microvesicles are a normal constituent of human plasma, where they play an important role ...

Blood Cell-Derived Microvesicles in Hematological Diseases and beyond
Biomolecules, 2022 Microvesicles or ectosomes represent a major type of extracellular vesicles that are formed by outward budding of the plasma membrane. Typically, they are bigger than exosomes but smaller than apoptotic vesicles, although they may overlap with both in ...

Leukemia microvesicles affect healthy hematopoietic stem cells
Tumor Biology, 2017 Microvesicles are released by different cell types and shuttle mRNAs and microRNAs which have the possibility to transfer genetic information to a target cell and alter its function.

Breast cancer exosome-like microvesicles and salivary gland cells interplay alters salivary gland cell-derived exosome-like microvesicles in vitro. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Saliva is a useful biofluid for the early detection of disease, but how distal tumors communicate with the oral cavity and create disease-specific salivary biomarkers remains unclear.

MOF-Derived Cu-TiO<sub>2</sub>/Alginate Micromotors for Buoyancy-Regulated 3D Motion. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)In this work, cyanobacteria‐inspired sodium alginate (SA)/Cu‐TiO2/Fe3O4 hydrogel micromotors generate and encapsulate O2 microvesicles upon light irradiation, enabling buoyancy‐mediated Z‐axis upward migration and surface enrichment at the light‐exposed water‐air surface.
