Core Tip	Microparticles are small cell vesicles which can be released from many cells (e.g., endothelial cells, platelets, leukocytes) into circulation and that can be quantified with flow cytometry. Several studies have shown that specific microparticles subtypes are increased in conditions enhanced vascular inflammation and coagulation. Thereby, microparticles have become surrogate markers, which can be used to assess for example leukocyte and endothelial cell activation. Additionally, by fusion with other cells, microparticles transfer cellular components of their parental cells to their target cells, which often results in altered function of the target cells.
