EV-Mediated Communication Between Hosts, and Microbes, Viruses and Parasites

Resumo

Description; São Paulo, Brazil has been chosen to host the next ISEV workshop: an appropriate location since many of the characterized cross-kingdom EV communications involve infectious diseases that occur in tropical countries. This workshop will cover communication between hosts and pathogens or commensals, including viruses and organisms from multiple kingdoms. Additionally, the workshop will feature dialogue between recognized experts in mammalian EV isolation and characterization and investigators who study EVs in other kingdoms. As with all ISEV workshops, abstracts will be chosen from submissions to encourage geographical and subject matter diversity, as well as contact between senior and junior researchers. Brief oral presentations will be thematically grouped based and interspersed with small-group roundtable discussions. The workshop is expected to yield a scholarly product, such as a position paper or meeting report to be published in the Journal of Extracellular Vesicles or another appropriate venue. Important: A max. of 50-60 participants will be selected based on their expertise and specific contribution in the EV field.Goals:To discuss and deliver a scientific report on mechanisms of EV-mediated communication between hosts and pathogens/commensals.To undertake a theoretical discussion on the nature and origin of extracellular vesicles in different kingdoms and on how EVs can best be characterized in organisms in which they have not yet been studied.
