this article reviews will focus on the concept and formation of micro particles (mps) in circulation and their role in transfusion medicine and immune system. mps are cell membrane derived vesicles which express markers of their parent cells and are found in circulation at low levels. exact functions of mps are unclear. in here, physiological almost all types of circulating mps including platel...

background: activated platelets shed microparticles (mps) in vivo and certainly in vitro under storage. like platelets, platelet-derived mps contribute to hemostatic and inflammatory responses. we sought to determine the interactions between platelet mps and peripheral b lymphocytes in the healthy blood circulation to propose a possible role for platelet mps in the functioning of b cells.   mat...

Background: Microparticles (MPs) are small vesicles released from the cell membrane. Accordingly, these contain active molecules to mediate biological processes, including cell proliferation and cell cycle progression. The fusion of myeloma cell lines with immunized B lymphocytes is a critical step of hybridoma technology. MPs modulate lymphoproliferation, thereby facilitating B cell expansion ...

Microparticles (MPs) are vesicles derived from the plasma membrane of different cells, are considered a source of circulating autoantigens, and can form immune complexes (MPs-ICs). The number of MPs and MPs-ICs increases in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). MPs activate myeloid cells by inducing IL-6 and TNF-α in both SLE and other diseases. Therefore, we propose that the recogn...

UNLABELLED Sequential testing by coronary CT angiography (CTA) and myocardial perfusion SPECT (MPS) obtained on stand-alone scanners may be needed to diagnose coronary artery disease in equivocal cases. We have developed an automated technique for MPS-CTA registration and demonstrate its utility for improved MPS quantification by guiding the coregistered physiologic (MPS) with anatomic CTA info...
