CSEVP-2026 Conference & School on Extracellular Vesicles and Nanoparticles
16 -20 February 2026
All cells release extracellular vesicles and nanoparticles into the extracellular environment during physiological and pathophysiological processes. Extracellular vesicles are nanosized particles enclosed in a lipid bilayer that are released from cells into the extracellular environment and cannot replicate.
They are of two types: vesicles that are free to migrate to other regions of a tissue, or even to other tissues, after their release (media EVs), and vesicles that bind to the extracellular matrix and are less inclined to migrate (matrix-bound EVs).
The current model describes the main function of media EVs as participation in paracrine and endocrine cell-cell communication processes, while the main function of matrix-bound EVs as participation in mineralization processes. Recent studies have shown that matrix-bound EVs can also mediate local cell-cell communication processes, opening new perspectives on their biological role.
Extracellular nanoparticles include not only well-known entities, such as lipoprotein particles, nucleosomes, and vaults, but also two recently discovered nanoparticles, exosomes and supermeres. Although their biological function is still unclear, exosomes and supermeres are thought to be exclusively capable of migration and their main function is described as participation in cell-cell communication.
Description of the Event
Due to the success of the 2024, the new event (CSEVP-2026) will have the same format as the previous event, a Conference (February 16-17, Villa Tuscolana, Rome) followed by a School (February 18-20, University of Rome Tor Vergata, Rome).
During the Conference, senior experts will highlight recent advances in understanding the role of extracellular vesicles and nanoparticles in physiological and pathological processes. Afterwards, ample space will be given to young scientists (the "rising stars") to discuss their discoveries in the field with oral contributions and posters.
Event Info
The event is free and will take place in two locations:
CONFERENCE: February 16/17, 2026 -Villa Tuscolana, Frascati (Rome), Italy
SCHOOL: February 18/20, 2026 - University of Rome Tor Vergata, Rome, Italy
