PLATELETS AND PLATELET-DERIVED MICROVESICLES: PHENOTYPE, CONTENT, IMPACT ON ENDOTHELIAL CELLS
Platelets are circulating anucleated structures derived from megakaryocytes. Intercellular adhesion molecules, Toll-like receptors, chemokine and cytokine receptors are represented on their surface.

Microvesicles : What's Plasma Made of? [PDF]
Microvesicles (MVs) are cell-derived membrane fragments which are present in plasma and other body fluids. In plasma, MVs participate in physiological processes of hemostasis and inflammation. MVs contain cell-specific molecules and are present at elevated levels in various diseases, which has raised the hypothesis of their potential application as ...

Procoagulant microvesicles (MVs) are submicron membrane fragments released from activated cells and cells undergoing apoptosis. The procoagulant activity of MVs is enhanced in the presence of tissue factor (TF). MVs and TF are active mediators that induce pro-inflammatory response and prothrombotic tendency and have been linked to the severity of ...

Thromboinflammatory effects of RBC microvesicles [PDF]
In this issue of Blood, Noubouossie et al provide new insights into potential mechanisms for thromboinflammatory complications associated with red blood cell (RBC) transfusions. By using leukoreduced RBC units to isolate RBC microvesicles (RBC-MVs), they document that RBC-MVs activate factor IX (FIX) via 2 distinct pathways: (1) the canonical ...

ARRDC1 as a mediator of microvesicle budding [PDF]
Eukaryotic cells critically depend on the formation, budding, and scission of membrane-bounded vesicles for many key processes: internalization of cell surface receptors, delivery of cargo proteins to multivesicular bodies (MVBs) and lysosomes for degradation, transport of newly synthesized proteins between intracellular organelles and their delivery ...

Microvesicles are small lipid, bilayer structures (20-400 nm in diameter) secreted by bacteria, fungi, archaea and parasites involved in inter-bacterial communication and host-pathogen interactions. Lactobacillus reuteri DSM-17938 (DSM) has been shown to
