M2 Monocyte Microparticles Are Increased in Intracerebral Hemorrhage

Higher numbers of M2 mMP in ICH cases compared with controls is hypothesis generating. It may represent differences in the chronic inflammatory status in patients susceptible to ICH, such as cellular activation or apoptosis. Further research is needed, including serial plasma samples, to elucidate the pathophysiology of monocytes and mMP following ICH.
