In this work led by Joost Sluijter and Pieter Vader at UMC Utrecht, a dual-step multimodal flow-through and size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) method was used to isolate and segregate sEV subpopulations derived from cardiac progenitor cells, https://t.co/4sKw1AduAZ #exosomes

On Dec 15th, I could finally defend my PhD thesis, at @UMCUtrecht @UniUtrecht.
This academic journey was an invaluable experience and offered me the privilege of engaging with brilliant minds. Special thanks to everyone who has been a part of my doctorate!

[Joost Sluijter @JSluijter]

Are you aware of extracellular vesicle heterogeneity and how this could impact their regenerative medicine applications? Check @simon4189 his recent work! @RMUtrecht @CircHealth_umcu @VaderPieter https://t.co/rI7bM8ZGey https://t.co/6KHVFeKrlE

[RM Utrecht @RMUtrecht]

From bench to beachside! #RM retreat 2022 takes our ESRs to Egmond aan Zee for some excellent discussions on open science, science communications, and the transferable skills of a #phd But most importantly a time for our hardworking researchers to take time off to regenerate

@MargaridaViola @NLSEV_ @JMMKocken @DefournyKyra Hahah thanks. I also look very happy😁

[NLSEV @NLSEV_]

We had to wait till the first photos were in, but now we can show and congratulate (again) the #NLSEV2022 award winners: @simon4189 and @JMMKocken won the prizes for best poster, and @DefournyKyra and Omnia Elsharkasy for best oral presentation!

[Joost Sluijter @JSluijter]

@simon4189 Simon vd Wakker winning the best poster award at the @NLSEV_ - time to practice to juggle!! But after the EV work this seems easy! Well deserved recognition! @VaderPieter @CirculatHealth @RMUtrecht

[Simon van de Wakker @simon4189]

I had a wonderful stay in Stockholm and learned a lot from working at the @karolinskainst in Samir El Andaloussi 's lab together with @andregorgens!

Congratulations to the first NLSEV MOVE fellowship awardee, @simon4189!! Obtaining and sharing #ExtracellularVesicles knowledge from EV-lab to EV-lab in Europe, that is #MOVE

[Julia Bauzá-Martinez @JuliaSkid11]

Super excited to share our latest work published on @ISEV_JEV 🥳, where we developed an intact EV crosslinking MS (𝙞𝙀𝙑𝙓𝙇) workflow to structurally characterize protein complexes in EVs 🫧 ! Thxs @GadiArmony @MFPronker & W.Wu who helped immensely ✨

[Simon van de Wakker @simon4189]

Hereby I would like to share a video we made about our recent publication: Influence of short term storage conditions, concentration methods and excipients on extracellular vesicle recovery and function:

[Simon van de Wakker @simon4189]

Optimization of EV isolation, concentration and storage protocols helps to increase EV recovery and thereby to a lower need for EV production upscaling. I hope this data will help others to increase their EV yields.. 3/4

[Circulatory Health UMC Utrecht @CircHealth_umcu]

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) play an important role in intercellular communication and have therapeutic potential. @simon4189, @VaderPieter, @JSluijter and colleagues tested several conditions to increase production processes.

Watch the full story here: https://t.co/xwr0csuxbI

[André Görgens @andregorgens]

Excited to share our now-published @ISEV_JEV paper on Extracellular Vesicle storage conditions! Should be of interest to anyone who stores EV preps, or dilutes EVs, in PBS, even short-term. We identified suitable alternatives.
Please share - thanks! 🧵1/7

It was great to present at the #FCVB in Budapest and at #ISEV2022 in Lyon.
I am really enjoying the in person sessions and discussions! @IsevComms @escardio
