Extracellular Vesicles in the Pathogenesis, Diagnosis and Treatment of the Heart

Date: April 11, 2025

About this Seminar

The recent explosion in extracellular vesicle (EV) research underscores their significance as messengers of health and disease. In this talk, Dr. Sahoo will highlight their dual role as novel therapeutic gene delivery vectors to treat heart failure with cardiac gene therapy and as disease disseminators in patients with chronic kidney disease and type 1 diabetes causing heart failure. Dr. Sahoo will highlight potential applications of EVs in cardiovascular pathogenesis, diagnosis, biomarker discovery, and therapeutics.
