Human heart explant-derived cell extracellular vesicles inhibit NLRP3 inflammasome activation in macrophages
FY 2022-23
Summary
My postdoctoral research focuses on developing extracellular vesicle (EV) based therapy for heart failure. Specifically, during the summit, I will be presenting novel data on anti-inflammatory effect of heart-explant cell derived EVs in the Cardiovascular Section's Outstanding Postdoctoral Trainee Award Competition (notification attached). Our findings provide new insights on mechanisms underlying EV therapeutic benefit in heart failure and we expect these data will be of great interest to the international cardiovascular research community.
