5:45 PM - 7:45 PM | Room 109-110 | ISEV-ISCT Joint Satellite Meeting: EV-Therapeutics
- The Magical Mystery of MoAs | EVs are being investigated as promising new therapeutic modalities. A key area still lacking in development is the elucidation of the mechanism of action (MoA) for the therapeutic efficacy of extracellular vesicles (EVs). There are several critical parameters that need to be considered and established for elucidating the MoA of EVs as therapeutic candidates. In addition to the important input from basic research to the reproducible and reliable measurement of the biological activity of EVs, an essential parameter is the investigation of biodistribution of EVs after administration. It is important to confirm that the administered EVs can reach the target cells in the therapeutic target tissues within a reasonable time frame to exert a therapeutic activity. We need relevant in vitro and in vivo models and valid approaches to confirm that particular observed biological activities of EV-Tx candidates link to proposed MoAs. Unraveling the mysterious mechanisms behind the therapeutic efficacy of EV-Tx candidates will be key to the clinical translation of therapeutic concepts. In this ISEV-ISCT Joint satellite session, experts will introduce their concepts on EV-based drug candidates and will be available after their talks together with the chairs for an extended Q+A session focusing on the next steps needed for clinical application of EVs. Co-Chairs: Sai Kiang Lim, Singapore (ISCT Exosome committee, chair) and Eva Rohde, Austria (ISEV - Task Force on Regulatory Affairs and Clinical Use of EV-based Therapeutics, chair) |

7:45 AM - 8:45 AM | Room 111-112 | EVs: A Secret Window into Parasite Communication | In this session, the speaker will discuss the relationships between extracellular vesicles (EVs) shed by parasites and the host. We investigate how these EVs activate the immune response and modulate certain cell types. They essentially function as an obscure communication route between the parasite and its host. When the parasite releases these EVs, they can carry molecules that either stimulate the host's immune system, causing inflammation or regulatory responses, or they can contain markers that interfere with the host's cell signaling, permitting the parasite to evade the immune response and better understand how parasites modulate host defenses.Speakers: a) Martin Olivier b) Carmen Fernandez Becerra. |
7:45 AM - 8:45 AM | Room 105-106 | Blood EVs | Join the Rigour and Standardisation Blood EV task force for an update on activities and future plans.Close |
7:45 AM - 8:45 AM | Room 109-110 | Meet the Editors-in-Chief for the Journal of Extracellular Vesicles and the Journal of Extracellular Biology | Join Professor Andy Hill and Professor Jan Lötvall in this informal discussion of the ISEV Journals, JEV and J Ex Bio. Take this opportunity to find out more about the work currently being published in the journals, the future aspirations for both journals, and to ask your questions of our Editors-in-Chief. |

5:45 PM - 7:45 PM | Room 109-110 | Extracellular Particles in Immunity | We are organizing a second ISEV conference on regulation of immunity by EPs ( extracellular vesicles and non-vesicular extracellular particles), given the current strong need for such a meeting. Consequently, the main goals for this satellite session are: 1) To highlight various contents of interest through a series of short presentations; 2) Open discussion to receive feedback regarding conference content and format, and to raise awareness of our plans. We will also gauge the interest in creation of a more formal framework to connect EP experts in immunity (SIG formation).Speakers: a) Ramin M. Hakami, b) Wei Guo, c) Hector Peinado, d) Clotilde Théry, e) Edit Buzas, f) Navneet Dhillon, g) Navneet Dogra, h) David Greening |
5:45 PM - 7:45 PM | Courtyard | Exploring Pathogens Secrets; Guidelines for Effective EV Isolation and Characterisation | In this Satellite, the speakers will discuss "Exploring Pathogen Secrets: Guidelines for Effective Extracellular Vesicle Isolation." They will review the basic methods for isolating extracellular vesicles (EVs) from pathogens and highlight the importance of selecting the best methodology for functional tests to answer research goals. In addition, the session will discuss how pathogens modulate host responses using EVs, offering light on the complex process’s basis for host-pathogens interactions. Speakers: a) Mauro Javier Cortez, b) Carmen Fernandez Becerra, c) David Langlais, d) Christopher Fernandez Prada, e) Yong Song Gho. |
