Extracellular Vesicles in One Health, Food, and Feed: Key Insights from the 8th Annual Conference25/5/2024
From May 24-25, 2024, the Estonian University of Life Sciences in Tartu, Estonia, hosted the 8th Annual Extracellular Vesicles Conference, themed “Unlocking the Potential of Extracellular Vesicles in One Health, Food, and Feed.” After the hands-on training school on extracellular vesicles, this important event provided a smooth continuation for further lectures and poster presentations.
From April 24th to May 15th, 2024, PhD student Madhusha Prasadani Yasalath Gamage from the Estonian University of Life Sciences undertook a study visit at the University of Milan. The focus of the visit was to explore the effects of cow milk extracellular vesicles (EVs) on various cell types in a 2D system. The goal was to study functional properties such as cell growth, viability, and proliferation. Based on these initial studies, Madhusha worked toward developing 3D cell culture models that could serve as substitutes for animal models, focusing on porcine and rainbow trout intestine models.
The picturesque city of Tartu, Estonia, was the backdrop for the seventh annual hands-on training school titled "Basics to Work with Extracellular Vesicles," hosted from May 21-23, 2024. This event was organized by the COMBIVET ERA Chair of Comparative Medicine at the Estonian University of Life Sciences, in collaboration with OH-Boost, University of Tartu, Baltic Society of Extracellular Vesicles, University of Helsinki, and the University of Milan.
