Microvesicles shed from the plasma membrane act as cellular effectors. Spleen microvesicles (SMVs) are surrogate markers of pathophysiological conditions. In rats and mice, SMV content and properties characterize aging or inflammation and are altered by cytoprotective treatments, making them a valuable yet abundant monitoring tool for preclinical research.
