Microvesicle Involvement in Shiga Toxin-Associated Infection
Shiga toxin is the main virulence factor of enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli, a non-invasive pathogen that releases virulence factors in the intestine, causing hemorrhagic colitis and, in severe cases, hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS).

Biology and biogenesis of shed microvesicles [PDF]
The ability of cells to transmit bioactive molecules to recipient cells and the extracellular environment is a fundamental requirement for both normal physiology and disease pathogenesis. It has traditionally been thought that soluble factors released from cells were responsible for this cellular signaling but recent research has revealed a fundamental

Platelet microvesicles and their role in providing hemostatic capacity (literature review)
In recent years the role of microvesicles in endocrine system transmission, in providing cellular connectivity, in transportation of proteins and nucleic acids from one cell to another, in angiogenesis regulation, in inflammatory reactions and in ...

Detection of myeloma cell-derived microvesicles: a tool to monitor multiple myeloma load
The persistence of tumor load in multiple myeloma (MM) lead to relapse in patients achieving complete remission (CR). Appropriate and effective methods of myeloma tumor load monitoring are important for guiding clinical management.

Glioblastoma (GB) is the most aggressive and recurrent form of brain cancer in adults. We hypothesized that the identification of biomarkers such as certain microRNAs (miRNAs) and the circulating microvesicles (MVs) that transport them could be key to establishing GB progression, recurrence and therapeutic response.

The role of microvesicles as biomarkers in the screening of colorectal neoplasm
Background Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second cause of cancer death worldwide. The role of circulating microvesicles as a screening tool is a novel, yet effective approach that warrants prioritised research.

R(h)oads to microvesicles [PDF]
A novel form of cell-to-cell communication involving the formation and shedding of large vesicular structures, called microvesicles (MVs), from the surfaces of highly aggressive forms of human cancer cells has been attracting increasing amounts of attention. This is in large part due to the fact that MVs contain a variety of cargo that is not typically

Cardiomyocyte microvesicles contain DNA/RNA and convey biological messages to target cells. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Shedding microvesicles are membrane released vesicles derived directly from the plasma membrane. Exosomes are released membrane vesicles of late endosomal origin that share structural and biochemical characteristics with prostasomes ...
