Engineered Extracellualr Vesicles for Regeneration and Rejuvenation: Advances and Perspectives

Dr. Lino Ferreira from the University of Coimbra, Portugal, will talk about "Engineered extracellualr vesicles for regeneration and rejuvenation: Advances and Perspectives" to the Second World Congress on Targeting EVs, wich will be held on October 15-16, 2025, in Valencia, Spain.

Summary of Talk

While the therapeutic potential of naïve EVs has been demonstrated in various disease models, recent preclinical studies now highlight their efficacy in aging and age-related conditions. This positions them as promising candidates to enhance tissue regeneration in aging and potentially promote rejuvenation. Advances in EV engineering have enabled the enhancement of their bioactivity, stability, and targeted delivery to specific tissues, opening new avenues for drug delivery aimed at regeneration and rejuvenation.

Dr. Lino Ferreira is a Coordinator Researcher (equiv. to Full Professor) at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Coimbra, Vice-Director of the PT Government Associate Laboratory CIBB, University of Coimbra (Portugal). He is the associate editor of Biomaterials Science Journal (RSC), founder of two technology-based companies and, founder and current Director, of the Collaborative Laboratory Colab4Ageing that currently integrates 6 associates (companies, academia and innovation hubs). A key focus of his bioengineering laboratory is to develop platform technologies in the areas of biomaterials, drug delivery, and cell therapies to address unmet medical needs. The lab aims to investigate age-related diseases, particularly the ones related with the cardiovascular system, and to develop pharmacological interventions (incluing drug delivery systems) to attenuate the effects of aging.
