Join us next week for our next free webinar, New Advances in Extracellular Vesicle miRNA Research Using High-Throughput Affinity Capture, being broadcast on Wednesday, 28 February 2024, at 7.00 p.m. (GMT) if you would like to take part with the live questions and answers session. If it is too late, you will be able to hear this webinar on-demand the following week. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are a diverse group of membrane-bound particles ranging from approximately 30 nm up to a few micrometres in diameter. These vesicles are released by cells into the extracellular space and biofluids, carrying molecular signals capable of influencing both proximal and distal cell functions. EV-associated signalling molecules include: nucleic acids; proteins; and lipids that are exposed on the vesicle surface, intercalated in the bi-lipid layer membrane or encapsulated within their lumen. The development of accurate and reliable EV-based diagnostics necessitates the identification of disease-associated biomarkers within specific EV subpopulations and the implementation of rapid, reproducible and scalable sample processing. Conventional isolation methods face challenges due to the co-isolation of particles with similar physicochemical properties. Promising alternatives involve methods targeting specific vesicle-surface epitopes, compatible with automated platforms. Join our featured speaker, Dr Greg Rice from INOVIQ Ltd (ASX:IIQ) as he identifies challenges associated with translating our understanding of extracellular vesicle (EV) biology into clinically useful applications and to highlight potential solutions. In this webinar, you will learn about: • The advantages of using vesicle-surface epitope affinity capture for enriching EVs • How to combine EV enrichment and RNA isolation into a seamless rapid process • How to fully automate EV enrichment and downstream analysis to achieve high-through-put sample analysis Register at https://bit.ly/3wlYWzw to reserve your place #Genomics #miRNA #HTS
