Frail older adults show a distinct plasma microvesicle profile suggesting a prothrombotic and proinflammatory phenotype.

Abstract excerpt

In a global context of advanced aging, geriatric diseases such as frailty syndrome face challenges in the search for biomarkers and preventive strategies. Frailty has been associated with atherothrombotic pathologies. Circulating microvesicles (cMVs), phospholipid-rich vesicles with a size of 0.1-1.0 μm, have been shown to participate in atherothrombosis onset and progression. We have hypothesized that cMVs from...
