Plasma membrane-derived vesicles: their role in the terminal differentiation of monocytes and in inhibiting the phagocytosis of apoptotic cells
Plasma Membrane-derived Vesicles (PMVs) are membrane-coated vesicles of diameter 0.1 to 1 μm, carrying various proteins inherent in their parental cells. PMVs are released when cells undergo activation/apoptosis via blebbing and shedding and have a function in intercellular communication. Exposition...
