5 Described Genetic Material Influences Metabolic Processes It is becoming increasingly evident that microparticles can exert functional effects on target cells indicating that these vesicles are more than just biomarkers of disease, and instead should be considered as circulating bioactive effectors of immunity. These microstructures are endogenously designed to incorporate selective components or morphogens from their donor cell, suggesting their generation is an active rather than passive budding process, and may also allow microparticles to target specific/distinct cell types/niches.
