Description

Extracellular Vesicles from Basic Research to Clinical Applications, Volume 94 covers theses lipid bilayer particles containing proteins, glycoproteins, mRNA, other small RNA species, and lipids formed and released by various pathogens. Chapters in this update include Extracellular Vesicles release from protozoa parasite and animal model, EVs from parasite and biomarkers, Translational Medicine – Use of EVs as therapy, EVs and viruses and their interaction with cells, EVs and Toxoplasma gondii, EVs and Fungi, Biogenesis of EVs in parasites, Extracellular vesicles, EVs and Leishmania, EVs in neuropsychiatry, EVs and Bacteria.

Other sections cover EVs and sleep deprivation, EVs and cancer, Extracellular vesicles and methods to isolation, purification, and characterization.

Key features

  • Provides a comprehensive exploration of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in the context of pathogen-host interactions, shedding light on their role as mediators in communication between hosts and infectious agents
  • Presents in-depth discussion on the nature, origin, identification, and characterization of EVs, providing valuable insights into their diverse functions in regulating physiological and pathological processes

Readership

Researchers in microbiology and immunology; Clinicians and healthcare professionals specializing in infectious diseases; Graduate students and academics in biological sciences; Biomedical scientists and pharmacologists interested in therapeutic strategies

Ana Claudia Torrecilhas

Graduated in Medical Biology from the Faculty of Philosophy, Sciences, and Letters Barão de Mauá (1988), with a master’s degree in Immunogenetics from the Federal University of São Paulo (UNIFESP, 1999) and a Ph.D. in Host-Parasite Relationship Biology from the University of São Paulo (USP, 2004). She completed her postdoctoral research at the Institute of Chemistry at USP (2004-2008) and the University of Georgia, USA (2010-2011). Currently, she is an Associate Professor at UNIFESP, Diadema campus, working in the field of Protozoology of Parasites, focusing on the characterization of Extracellular Vesicles (EVs) and their mechanisms of interaction with the host. She was a board member and part of the scientific committee of the International Society for Extracellular Vesicles (ISEV) from 2016-2020 and 2022-2024. She is an Associate Editor of journals such as Journal of Extracellular Vesicles (JEV), Journal of Extracellular Biology (JEB), Frontiers in Immunology, Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, and Brazilian Journal of Health Research (BJHR). Currently, she serves as the Communication Coordinator of ISEV (2024-2026).
