The First World Conference on Targeting Extracellular Vesicles, scheduled for October 17-18, 2024, at the Corinthia Palace in Malta, marks a strategic collaboration between the World Mitochondria Society and the International Society of Microbiota.
This event will focus on the transformative role of extracellular vesicles (EVs) and exosomes in the future of medicine, particularly through their interactions with mitochondria and microbiota.
Mitochondria and Extracellular Vesicles: Where are We Now & What’s Next
Mitochondria, the powerhouses of the cell, play a crucial role in cellular energy production and regulation. The conference will delve into how EVs and exosomes can influence mitochondrial dynamics, offering new insights into their potential for therapeutic innovation. Topics will include the role of mitovesicles in neurodegeneration, how mitochondrial-derived EVs can cross the blood-brain barrier, and the implications of mitochondrial DAMPs in neuroinflammatory responses. Additionally, advancements in engineering exosomes to specifically target mitochondria in brain cells highlight the promising future of mitochondrial medicine.
Microbiota and Extracellular Vesicles Insights & Perspectives
Microbiota, the community of microorganisms living in our bodies, are essential for maintaining health and preventing disease. The conference will explore how microbiota-derived EVs and exosomes impact health and disease, with a focus on the gut-liver axis, maternal-fetal health, and vaginal microbiota. The therapeutic applications of microbial EVs will also be a key topic, including their potential in mental health disorders, combating antimicrobial resistance, and promoting tissue regeneration. By bridging microbiota research with EV and exosome technology, the conference aims to unlock new pathways for innovative treatments and improved health outcomes.
