 The ISEV Education Committee has produced a MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) for those beginner and intermediate learners in the field of extracellular vesicles such as exosomes and microvesicles.

MOOC1 Basic of Extracellular Vesicles:

Goals and Scientific Program

This course aims to provide the basic knowledge about extracellular vesicles (EV) a generic term including exosomes, microvesicles, microparticles, ectosomes, oncosomes, prostasomes, and many others. It covers areas such as EV history, nomenclature, biogenesis, EV cargo as well as the release and uptake mechanisms, collection and processing prior to isolation, different isolation methods, characterization and quantification techniques.

This course is meant for anyone interested in the field of extracellular vesicles including biology and medical students and PhD students without previous experience in the field as well as clinicians, cell and molecular biologists and researchers who want to broaden their understanding of the field and deepen their knowledge about particular techniques.

MOOC2 EVs in Health and Diseases:

Goals and Scientific Program

This course aims to provide current understanding about extracellular vesicles (EVs) and their role in health and diseases. The EVs are known to be involved in cell to cell communication. Apart from maintaining normal cell physiology, EVs deliver messages that can drive or influence the progression of a disease. This course discusses recent advances made in the field to give an introduction on their function in health as well as in disease.

This course is recommended for intermediate learners or anyone who is interested in the field of extracellular vesicles and their role in a particular disease including scientists, clinicians, or cell and molecular biologists who look to broaden their understanding of the field.
