Extracellular vesicles (EV) are tiny, membrane-enclosed structures actively secreted by cells across diverse biological contexts to transfer proteins, lipids, and genetic material between cells. They come in types like exosomes and ectosomes, playing a vital role in communication within the body. EV have gained considerable attention in various fields of research, including cell biology, cancer research, immunology, and regenerative medicine, due to their role in cell communication, disease progression, and therapeutic potential. Researchers are exploring their use as biomarkers for various diseases and as potential delivery vehicles for therapeutic molecules. Want to learn more?

To support the participation of our members at the EV4 Conference, CzeSEV has awarded four Travel Grants. We are pleased to announce this year’s recipients:
Congratulations to all Travel Grant recipients! We look forward to seeing you and the wider EV community in Budapest and wish everyone an inspiring and successful conference.
CzeSEV, a community of researchers dedicated to the study of exosomes, ectosomes and other cell-derived vesicles from both eukaryotic and prokaryotic sources, achieved official society status in March 2024.
If you're interested in joining CzeSEV, we welcome you to complete the application and submit it to czesev@sci.muni.cz. For additional details regarding CzeSEV and membership opportunities, please visit Membership section on our website.
CzeSEV is so far a very small organization and lives only through the enthusiasm and activity of its few members.
CzeSEV unites senior researchers, early-career scientists, students, and industry professionals throughout the Czech Republic. Our goal is to facilitate connections, foster collaboration, and build bridges within the EV research community.
We provide a robust platform for sharing experiences and knowledge related to extracellular vesicles. Our community thrives on the exchange of ideas, experiences, and discoveries.
As proud members of ISEV, we are contributing to the ISEV mission of advancing EV research for better understanding of EV biology and their use in clinics. We advocate for EVs by endorsing the EV topic during our lectures as well as by promoting the ISEV standards for EV research.
