Tartu Tamme Middle School Biology Workshop

3/5/2023

 
On 10th of May 2023 took place Tartu Tamme Middle School biology workshop for their 8th grade students. The workshop was conducted by COMBIVET and OH-Boost project members working with the Estonian University of Life Sciences and the University of Tartu. 
​

Pipetting is the basis of scientific experiments. Many experiments require precise pipetting of different solutions, where any small change can alter the experimental results. Therefore, we let the students try pipetting different types of solutions (liquid, foamy, viscous, easily evaporating), taught them how to use different pipetting techniques and showed the differences between manual and automatic pipettes.

THE BALTIC SOCIETY OF EXTRACELLULAR VESICLES CONFERENCE

30/4/2023

 

EXTRACELLULAR VESICLES:
KEY PLAYERS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF DIAGNOSTIC AND THERAPEUTIC APPROACHES IN HEALTH AND DISEASE

The two-day symposium about Extracellular Vesicles and their role in physiology and pathology took place at the State Research Institute Centre for Innovative Medicine.
BSEV was set an objective to host symposiums to bring prominent experts in the field to exchange the most recent knowledge in this growing field and advance research cooperation within Baltic states.
The symposium was featuring the following sessions:

public presentation about dairy cows and their living on the farm in Estonia

28/3/2023

 
​On 28.03.2023 we conducted a public presentation about dairy cows and their living on the farm in Estonia. 
Do you know what you have to do every day to get the milk to the store? Is getting milk in a package that easy? How can scientists help to make the life of a dairy cow easier on the farm and at the same time ensure the availability of milk for the Estonian people? 
All of these questions got answers from our presenter and the event was very well received by the public.

Role of extracellular vesicles in intercellular communication during reproduction

17/7/2022

 
The mammalian reproduction is a process of controlled cellular growth and development regulated by constant communication between the gametes, the subsequent embryo and the maternal system. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are involved in these communications to a significant degree from the gamete production and maturation to fertilization, embryo development and implantation. They regulate the cellular physiology and the immune reaction to bring about a favourable environment for a successful pregnancy. Deciphering the mechanisms employed in EV-mediated embryo maternal communication could improve our knowledge in mammalian reproduction and increase the efficiency of animal breeding.
