Communication via Extracellular Vesicles
Welcome to the 42nd Blankenese Conference 2025 "Communication via Extracellular Vesicles" taking place on May 19 – 21, 2025 at the Elsa Brandström-Haus in Hamburg, Germany.
About the conference
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are important players in mediating material and information exchange between cells. They display remarkable diversity, both in their cellular origins and in the variety of cargo they carry. Next to essential physiological functions across virtually all organs and systems, EVs are key contributors in several pathological processes, including cancer, immunomodulation, inflammation, and neurodegenerative diseases. Moreover, EVs hold immense potential as a source of biomarkers and as innovative drug delivery vehicles.
The conference will feature presentations by leading scientific experts studying EVs, as well as experts working on closely related topics, providing a multifaceted view of the topic. Young scientists are encouraged to present their research through poster presentations. Selected poster abstracts will also be highlighted in oral presentations during the conference.
