Extracellular Vesicles from Basic Research to Clinical Applications, Volume 94 covers theses lipid bilayer particles containing proteins, glycoproteins, mRNA, other small RNA species, and lipids formed and released by various pathogens. Chapters in this update include Extracellular Vesicles release from protozoa parasite and animal model, EVs from parasite and biomarkers, Translational Medicine – Use of EVs as therapy, EVs and viruses and their interaction with cells, EVs and Toxoplasma gondii, EVs and Fungi, Biogenesis of EVs in parasites, Extracellular vesicles, EVs and Leishmania, EVs in neuropsychiatry, EVs and Bacteria.
Other sections cover EVs and sleep deprivation, EVs and cancer, Extracellular vesicles and methods to isolation, purification, and characterization.

Associate Professor at Federal University of Sao Paulo (UNIFESP), Brazil. Background in immunology and molecular parasitology and immunology, with specific training and expertise in host-parasite interaction and characterization of extracellular vesicles isolate from protozoa parasite. Research includes the characterization of the cellular and immunology that control the interaction and modulation of protozoa. As PI on several university and grants from Brazilian Government (CNPq and FAPESP) and international grants. My group have a collaboration with John Hopkins, USA; McGill University, Montreal, Canada; IS Global Institute, Barcelona, Spain; Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot, Israel. I establish some basic principles of Trypanosoma cruzi (protozoa parasite cause of the Chagas Disease) interaction with host cells. I’m coordinator of the Parasitology and Clinical Immunology of the Pharmacy School at UNIFESP. I’m Associate Editor; International Journal of Tropical Diseases, Frontiers in Microbiology, Journal of Immunology Research and Journal of Extracellular Vesicles.
