Are you curious about apoptotic bodies? In this episode, we speak with Professor Ivan Poon from the La Trobe Institute for Molecular Science (LIMS) in Melbourne, Australia. His laboratory investigates how and why dying cells fragment into large extracellular vesicles known as apoptotic bodies. We discuss the biogenesis of these vesicles, key considerations for their isolation and characterization, and how this differs from studying small EVs.

Are you curious about what it takes to get an idea moving from theory to practice? Perhaps even from the bench to the market? Join SNEV as we discuss with Dr. Minh Le the reality of bringing a theoretical concept from laboratory research to a new business opportunity through her research in red blood cell extracellular vesicles. We also highlight her experience navigating both geographical and linguistic international collaborations during her scientific career. Tune in to discover not just the science, but the resilience, creativity, and cross-cultural insights that transform bold ideas into real-world impact.

In this episode we hear from An Hendrix about the EV-Track project and its future directions through the International Society for Extracellular Vesicles (ISEV) EV-Track Taskforce. An’s group developed the EV-Track platform where researchers can submit their publications and experiments as a means of assessing and improving their methodological rigour. The platform is under ongoing development and represents a centralised database on EV publications and their experimental parameters. In this podcast An shares the story of the platforms development and makes a clear case for why EV researchers should engage with the EV-Track project. This is not an episode to be missed!
