About the Webinar

Mitochondria-derived vesicles (MDVs) are small vesicles that help regulate mitochondrial quality control and facilitate the exchange of mitochondrial components between healthy and damaged organelles. Their role extends to neurodegenerative disorders, cardiovascular diseases, and immune system adaptation. EVs carrying mitochondrial cargo (mitoEVs) have been identified as an alternative route for mitochondrial clearance, particularly when intracellular degradation pathways are impaired.

This webinar will cover state-of-the-art techniques for mitoEV isolation, including differential centrifugation, density gradient fractionation, and immunoaffinity methods. Characterization approaches such as nanoparticle tracking analysis, electron microscopy, and proteomic profiling will also be discussed.

Who Should Participate?

This webinar is designed for:

  • Researchers and scientists studying extracellular vesicles and mitochondrial biology

  • Clinicians and healthcare professionals interested in mitochondrial dysfunction and related diseases

  • Biotechnology and pharmaceutical professionals exploring EV-based diagnostics and therapeutics

  • Students and academics seeking insights into cutting-edge techniques for mitoEV isolation and characterization
