Division of Molecular and Translational Medicine,Dept. of Medicine I, Johannes Gutenberg University, Mainz, GermanyEmerging role of microparticlesMicroparticles (MP) have gained increasing attention as biomark-ers for various diseases. First described as platelet dust, MP wereregarded as unspecific debris [1]. However, it has become appar-ent that cell derived MP or ectosomes represent a novel route ofhorizontal communication between cells. MP are between 100–1000 nm in size and generated through cell membrane shedding(ectocytosis), a process that can be triggered by the activation ofthe complement C5b-9 complex, as shown for platelet derivedMP, or by inhibition of flippase activitythroughCa
