New application of Apogee flow cytometry - detection of circulating particles

In February 2013, Shantila E, Gregory YH Lip of the Centre for Cardiovascular Science at the University of Birmingham and Kamphuisen PW of the Department of Vascular Medicine at the University of Amsterdam published a review entitled "Circulating microparticles in cardiovascular disease: implications for atherogenesis and atherothrombosis". This article introduces the current research progress and current status of microparticles in cardiovascular diseases , and prospects for microparticle research in cardiovascular related fields. This review was published in the Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis. (Review of the article: New application of Apogee flow cytometry - circulating microparticles in cardiovascular disease: effects on atherosclerosis and thrombosis )

In just one month, in April 2013, the University of Birmingham Cardiovascular Science Research Center (Gregory YH Lip, etc.) and the Cardiovascular Center of Murcia-Dalek Saka Hospital, Spain (Department of Cardiology) , Hospital Universitario Virgen de la Arrixaca, University of Murcia, Spain) Joint research paper "Small-size circulating microparticles in acute coronary syndromes: Relevance to fibrinolytic status, reparative markers and outcomes" was published in the journal Atherosclerosis.

The authors mentioned in the article that "recent research results show that circulating microparticles are factors that contribute to cardiovascular inflammation , clogging and damage. In the past, due to the limitations of conventional equipment in the detection of tiny particles , the important factor of circulating microparticles is The past has often been excluded from the etiology analysis.” For the limitations of conventional equipment, the authors used a new generation of high-resolution microparticle flow cytometers – from the UK Apogee Flow System Ltd. ultra-high resolution flow cell Apogee A50 , research on circulating particles , and unexpected results, to obtain the research results, and the article was published.
