Synovial Fluid Task ForceExtracellular vesicles (EVs) in Rheumatic diseases have gained huge interest in both basic and translational research over the last two decades. The exponential growth in research is attributed to their unique properties for intercellular communication, carrying important cargo, therapeutic potential as biomarker of prognosis, diagnosis (liquid biopsies) and as a drug delivery vehicle. In the synovial fluid (SF) task force, we aim to discuss topics specific for SF EVs research. With research experts both from academia and clinical context, we intend to address SF EVs specific challenges regarding collection, handling, processing, storage, experimental framework and reporting. The goal is to standardize procedures in SF EVs research for the consistency, reproducibility and comparability of data among scientific communities. Co-Chairs Contact Info Edveena Hanser
