We are pleased to announce that Prof. Luc Boudreau (University of Moncton, Canada) will join Targeting Extracellular Vesicles 2026 as a speaker. Prof. Boudreau will present on the strategic topic: Platelet-Derived Microvesicles as Mitochondrial Messengers: Reprogramming Immune Bioenergetics and Inflammation.

Prof. Boudreau’s research explores how platelet-derived microvesicles (PMVs), carrying functional mitochondria, interact with neutrophils and influence inflammatory responses. The study demonstrates that PMVs enhance neutrophil survival, increase ATP production and mitochondrial activity, and prolong inflammatory function through the transfer of active mitochondrial components and enzymes. These findings provide important new insights into intercellular mitochondrial communication and its role in inflammation and immune regulation, with potential implications for inflammatory and immune-related diseases.
