10 French laboratories were present at ISEV 2023 for oral presentations or posters as principal authors (Clamart, Bordeaux, Fontenay-aux-Roses, Lyon, Paris, Toulouse), and 8 laboratories as co-authors, for a congress that brought together more than 1,000 participants in Seattle. Congratulations to Jean-Christophe Delpech’s laboratory (Bordeaux), which received an outstanding poster award on the role of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in the brain (title: The role of brain-derived EVs in cognitive impairment associated with gestational omega-3 deficiency).
ISEV 2023 saw a number of highlights around a variety of themes, including label-free visualisation approaches, microfluidics, large EVs, lessons from non-mammalian EVs, and the role of EVs in senescence and age-related diseases, the integration of traditional markers and protein markers derived from EVs in clinical studies, the debate on the maturity of therapeutic approaches, and in vivo imaging of EVs in cancer, with a keynote speech by Jacky Goetz (Strasbourg).
​Another highlight was the success of the inaugural symposium of the Special Interest Group EViNS (Extracellular Vesicles in Nervous Systems), an initiative led by Eva-Maria Albers (Germany), Tsuneya Ikezu (USA), Andy Hill (Australia) and Christian Neri (France), with several developments to be announced shortly. All in all, a packed programme for another edition rich in information and interaction, co-chaired this year by Dolores Di Visio and Uta Erdbrügger, and which next year will take place in Melbourne for ISEV 2024. ​
