Publications
- MIBlood-EV: Minimal information to enhance the quality and reproducibility of blood extracellular vesicle research JEV 2023; Download the checklist: Standardized Reporting Tool for Blood EV Research (Human).
- Considerations towards a roadmap for collection, handling and storage of blood extracellular vesicles JEV 2019; The manuscript was based on results from a survey distributed amongst Blood EV task force members.
Other Outputs
- Several Blood EV TF members involved in organizing the Helsinki Blood EV Workshop (Helsinki, Finland; 2022), ISTH endorsed (showing the interest of a more clinical scientific society on this topic)
- Initially, we identified several caveats, including the lack of a roadmap to gain a comprehensive overview of expected challenges (2019), the lack of robust quality controls to improve blood-derived starting material for EV isolation and characterization (hope to publish this early 2023), and now we have a few of the originally identified topics left (i) Anticoagulants, (ii) Blood stabilization tubes, and (iii) Reference plasma samples. Propose to have a discussion at ISEV 2023 amongst the Blood EV TF members which topics we should focus on next.
