Guest Lecture of Professor Peter Nejsun on Extracellular Vesicles in Host-Parasite Interaction 

Prof. Peter Nejsum shared insights into the role of extracellular vesicles (EVs) from parasitic worms in immune modulation. His presentation covered techniques for isolating and characterizing EVs, their impact on the immune system, and potential applications in treating inflammatory diseases. The discussion also explored the challenges of working with nematode EVs and highlighted the influence of worm-derived microRNAs on human immunity and cancer, paving the way for innovative therapeutic strategies.
