Elucidating the Interplay Between Glioblastoma-Derived EVs and Cardiovascular Health – Best Poster Presentations 2024

Deimantė Kulakauskienė from the Lithuanian University of Health Sciences has received the Best Poster Presentation Award at the First Conference on Targeting Extracellular Vesicles in Malta.

Her research, “The Investigation of Glioblastoma-Derived EVs Effect on Cells in the Cardiovascular System,” reveals that small EVs enhance mitochondrial activity in cardiomyocytes, while both small and large EVs inhibit endothelial cells.

This work offers new insights into the potential connections between cancer and cardiovascular anomalies, highlighting the transformative implications for future research in both fields. The scientific community thanks Deimantė for her important contribution to our understanding of extracellular vesicles.
