The methodologies described in this chapter inform on how to incorporate extracellular vesicles (EV) in model systems to investigate their role in the initiation and progression of the atherosclerotic plaque. The section will cover application of EV in coagulation and thrombus formation, monocytic migration, and adhesion to endothelial monolayers. These methodologies can be used with EV isolated from any cell type and under any conditions.
Keywords: Atherosclerosis; Extracellular vesicles; Monocyte migration; Static adhesion; Thrombus formation.
