Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Bénédicte Hugel , M. Carmen Martínez , Corinne Kunzelmann and Jean-Marie Freyssinet Institut dHématologie et dImmunologie, Université Louis Pasteur, Faculté de Médecine, Strasbourg, France, and Unité 143 INSERM, Hôpital de Bicêtre, Le Kremlin-Bicêtre, France jean-marie.freyssinet{at}hemato-ulp.u-strasbg.fr Microparticles are plasma membrane-derived vesicles shed from stimulated cells, in the broad sense of the term. Their presence is interpreted by proximal or remote cells in fundamental physiological processes including intercellular communication, hemostasis, and immunity. On the other hand, variations of their number or characteristics are frequently observed in pathophysiological situations.
