Microparticles (MPs) resulting from vesiculation of platelets and other blood cells have been
extensively documented in vitro and have been found in increased numbers in several …

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

Endothelial progenitor cell (EPC) nomenclature remains ambiguous and there is a general
lack of concordance in the stem cell field with many distinct cell subtypes continually grouped …

The development of vasculopathies in diabetes involves multifactorial processes including
pathological activation of vascular cells. Release of microparticles by activated cells has been …

CD146 is a cell-surface molecule belonging to the immunoglobulin superfamily and expressed
in all types of human endothelial cells. Confocal and electron microscopic analysis of …

In the present study we investigated whether endothelial microparticles (EMPs) can bind to
monocytic THP-1 cells and modulate their procoagulant properties. Using flow cytometry, we …

The regulation of plasmin generation on cell surfaces is of critical importance in the control
of vascular homeostasis. Cell-derived microparticles participate in the dissemination of …

Purpose The purpose of this study was to compare the biological characteristics of platelet-rich
plasma (PRP) obtained from 4 medical devices and a preparation developed in our …

The antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) refers to persistent antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL)
associated with thrombotic and/or obstetrical complications. The endothelial cell is a target …

Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have shown great potential in cell therapy of
solid organs. Approaches to improving the ability of grafted MSCs to survive and secrete …
