Impact of biofluid viscosity on size and sedimentation efficiency of the isolated microvesicles

Microvesicles are nano-sized lipid vesicles released by all cells in vivo and in vitro. They are released physiologically under normal conditions but their rate of release is higher under pathological conditions such as tumors. Once released they end up in the systemic circulation and have been foun...
