Microvesicles and Cancer Associated Thrombosis [PDF]
AbstractMicrovesicles (MVs) are small membrane enclosed structures released into the extracellular space by virtually all cell types. Their composition varies according to the cell origin and the stimulus which caused their formation. They harbor functional molecules and participate in intercellular communication.

Exosome-mediated transfer of miR-222 is sufficient to increase tumor malignancy in melanoma [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Growing evidence is showing that metastatic cell populations are able to transfer their characteristics to less malignant cells. Exosomes (EXOs) are membrane vesicles of endocytic origin able to convey their cargo of mRNAs, microRNAs (miRs),

Acoustic Purification of Extracellular Microvesicles [PDF]
Microvesicles (MVs) are an increasingly important source for biomarker discovery and clinical diagnostics. The small size of MVs and their presence in complex biological environment, however, pose technical challenges in sample preparation, particularly when sample volumes are small.

Accumulation of tissue factor in endothelial cells induces cell apoptosis, mediated through p38 and p53 activation [PDF]
We previously reported that high levels of tissue factor (TF) can induce cellular apoptosis in endothelial. In this study, TF-mediated mechanisms of induction of apoptosis were explored.

miRNAs as Influencers of Cell-Cell Communication in Tumor Microenvironment [PDF]
microRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs that regulate gene expression at the posttranscriptional level, inducing the degradation of the target mRNA or translational repression.

The biology of extracellular microvesicles [PDF]
The study of extracellular vesicles (EVs) is a rapidly evolving field, owing in large part to recent advances in the realization of their significant contributions to normal physiology and disease. Once discredited as cell debris, these membrane vesicles have now emerged as mediators of intercellular communication by interaction with target cells, drug

Platelet Microvesicles (Microparticles) in Cardiac Surgery [PDF]
SIGNIFICANT POSTOPERATIVE BLEEDING is a common risk of cardiac surgery, with approximately 3.5% of patients requiring surgical re-exploration.1 Re-exploration is associated with adverse outcomes, including infections, ischemia, and increased 30-day mortality.2 Similar adverse outcomes are related to erythrocyte transfusions associated with cardiac ...

Microglial microvesicle secretion and intercellular signaling [PDF]
Microvesicles (MVs) are released from almost all cell brain types into the microenvironment and are emerging as a novel way of cell-to-cell communication. This review focuses on MVs discharged by microglial cells, the brain resident myeloid cells, which comprise ∼10-12% of brain population.
