Article Abstract
All eukaryotic cells can secrete extracellular vesicles, which have a double-membrane structure and are important players in the intercellular communication involved in a variety of important biological processes. Platelets form platelet-derived microparticles (PMPs) in response to activation, injury, or apoptosis. This review introduces the origin, pathway, and biological functions of PMPs and their importance in physiological and pathological processes. In addition, we review the potential applications of PMPs in cancer, vascular homeostasis, thrombosis, inflammation, neural regeneration, biomarkers, and drug carriers to achieve targeted drug delivery. In addition, we comprehensively report on the origin, biological functions, and applications of PMPs. The clinical transformation, high heterogeneity, future development direction, and limitations of the current research on PMPs are also discussed in depth. Evidence has revealed that PMPs play an important role in cell-cell communication, providing clues for the development of PMPs as carriers for relevant cell-targeted drugs. The development history and prospects of PMPs and their cargos are explored in this guidebook.

Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a heterogeneous autoimmune disorder characterized by immune-mediated destruction of platelets and impaired platelet production. Although autoantibodies have historically been central to the understanding of ITP, current evidence demonstrates that its pathogenesis extends well beyond humoral mechanisms to involve complex dysregulation of both innate and adaptive immune responses. Multiple immune pathways-including autoreactive B and T cells, dendritic cell activation, and regulatory T cell deficiency-contribute to disease onset, progression, and chronicity.

ObjectivesIntimal hyperplasia, which is mainly caused by vascular damage during percutaneous coronary intervention, affects the prognosis of patients who undergo percutaneous coronary intervention. However, it remains unclear whether circulating microparticles, which are also affected by percutaneous coronary intervention, participate in intimal hyperplasia.MethodsIn this applied basic research (also identified as a cross-sectional study), microparticles were obtained from healthy participants (n = 20), patients with serious intimal hyperplasia (n = 33), and patients with mild intimal hyperplasia (n = 33) 1 year after percutaneous coronary intervention.

Mechanical circulatory support devices (MCSDs) have emerged as life-saving interventions for patients with end-stage heart failure. However, the non-physiological shear stress (NPSS) generated by MCSDs is a known precipitant of platelet dysfunction, augmenting risks of thrombotic and bleeding complications. Addressing this issue necessitates innovative approaches to attenuate platelet dysfunction, thereby enhancing the safety of MCSDs.

In healthy conditions and cardiovascular diseases, the most abundant microparticles (MPs) in the bloodstream are those of platelet origin, but the direct effect of these microparticles on endothelial activation is poorly understood. The objective of this paper is to measure endothelial cell activation, as evaluated by the expression of the adhesion molecules E-selectin, VCAM-1, ICAM-1, and PECAM-1 in endothelial cell line HMEC-1 when stimulated with MPs produced by platelets stimulated in vitro with thrombin (TH), adenosine diphosphate (ADP), calcium ionophore (ICa), N-acetylglucosamine (NAcGlc), and without any stimulus. Platelets from healthy individuals induced the formation of MPs with different agonists.

Platelet derived prothrombotic microparticles (MP) have been associated with hemocompatibility related adverse events in patients with continuous flow left ventricular assist devices; little is known with the contemporary Impella platform micro-axial flow pumps. Indeed, the extended duration of support provided by the Impella 5.5 calls for a specific evaluation.
