#Microvesicles (MV) are formed from the outward blebbing of the plasma membrane and carry a diverse cargo that regulate multiple processes.

During #inflammation these are produced by activated endothelial cells and released into the #circulation. TEM image of plasma MVs: (2/8) Image
In this study the authors investigated whether endothelial-derived MVs (EC-MVs) contribute to #vascular dysfunction during inflammation.

The authors used an animal model of #sepsis (CLP) and found that this increased EC-MV production (3/8) Image
