Mechanobiology of microvesicle release, uptake, and microvesicle-mediated activation

2020
Microvesicles are small, membrane-bound vesicles that are shed from the plasma membrane of cells into the extracellular space. Microvesicles contain a variety of cargo not typically thought to be released from cells, including receptor tyrosine kinases, cytosolic signaling proteins, and microRNAs, which are transferred from donor cells to recipient ...

Tumor-derived microvesicles: The metastasomes

Medical Hypotheses, 2013
Metastasis is the leading cause of cancer death, yet it is mechanistically considered a very inefficient process suggesting the presence of some sort of (e.g. systemic) routes for fuelling the process. The pre-metastatic niche formation is described as one such metastasis promoting route.

Microvesicles in Autoimmune Diseases

2016
During apoptosis or activation, cells can release a subcellular structure, called a membrane microvesicle (also known as microparticle) into the extracellular environment. Microvesicles bud-off as a portion of cell membrane with its associated proteins and lipids surrounding a cytosolic core that contains intracellular proteins, lipids, and nucleic ...

Shedding microvesicles: artefacts no more

Trends in Cell Biology, 2009
The small vesicles shed from the surface of many cells upon stimulation, considered for a long time to be artefacts, are now recognized as specific structures that are distinct from the exosomes released upon exocytosis of multivesicular bodies. Recent reports indicate that shedding vesicles participate in important biological processes, such as the ...

Microvesicles and pre-eclampsia

Pregnancy Hypertension: An International Journal of Women's Cardiovascular Health, 2013
The maternal syndrome of pre-eclampsia is characterised by an excessive inflammatory response associated with endothelial dysfunction, brought about by the release of multiple factors from the placenta into the maternal circulation. While some of these factors are released as soluble molecules it is now apparent that many of them are associated with ...
