By now, all theorists should know what “innate” means.  It means the immune system did not evolve. It is an energy-dependent ecological adaptation in all living genera. It typically protects all organized genomes from virus-driven inflammation and disease.

The Role of Exosomes in Inflammatory Disease: Pathogenesis and Treatment

Thursday September 22, 2016
2:30 – 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time

Exosomes encapsulate and transport a wide variety of molecules generated by their cell-of-origin, a process now thought to be a form of cellular signaling. Exosome signaling is common across cell types and species, but it is of particular interest in diseases with an inflammatory component. While exosome isolation and analysis is useful to understanding the mechanisms behind these multifaceted diseases, exosomes may also be exploited for their therapeutic potential. The Scientist is bringing together a panel of experts to review the current knowledge on exosomes in inflammation, and to explore the potential for exosome-based therapeutics. Attendees will have the opportunity to interact with the experts, ask questions, and seek advice on topics that are related to their research.

Topics to be covered include:

  • The exosomal cargoes released during inflammation, and their potential as therapeutic targets
  • How inflammatory diseases are uniquely suited to exosome analysis
