Platelet microparticles

Abstract

The idea of a vesicular way of intercellular communications has appeared at the beginning of the XXI century and today quickly develops. It is determined that in such a way the signals are transmitted in many biological and pathological processes: circulation, regeneration, atherosclerosis, tumor growth.It became obvious that the problem of vesicular intercellular communications is of great medical interest. Knowledge in this area can be used and already begins to use for diagnostics, prognosis and treatment of several serious diseases, including, such spread as an atherosclerosis, diabetes, cancer. An important moment in the development of these diseases — transmitting intercellular signals by platelet microparticles. They, in addition, are participants some of important physiological processes.
