During the past decade, extracellular vesicles (EVs), which include apoptotic bodies,
microvesicles, and exosomes, have emerged as important players in cell-to-cell …

Membrane vesicles released in the extracellular space are composed of a lipid bilayer
enclosing soluble cytosolic material and nuclear components. Extracellular vesicles include …

The administration of (stem) cell-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) promotes tissue repair
through management of different inflammatory, proliferative and remodeling processes in …

Microvesicles are members of the family of extracellular vesicles shed from the plasma
membrane of activated or apoptotic cells. Microvesicles were initially characterised by their …

Endothelial barrier integrity is required for maintaining vascular homeostasis and fluid
balance between the circulation and surrounding tissues and for preventing the …

Microparticles represent a heterogeneous population of vesicles with a diameter of 100 to
1000 nm that are released by budding of the plasma membrane and express antigens …

Cell–cell communication has proven to be even more complex than previously thought since
the discovery that extracellular vesicles serve as containers of biological information on …

Endothelial microparticles (EMP) are complex vesicular structures shed from activated or
apoptotic endothelial cells. They play a remarkable role in coagulation, inflammation …

Abstract Aims Circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) have attracted major interest as biomarkers
for cardiovascular diseases. Since RNases are abundant in circulating blood, there needs to …

Membrane microparticles are submicron fragments of membrane shed into extracellular
space from cells under conditions of stress/injury. They may be distinguished from other …
