Exosome Superfoods
All plant and animal cells produce extracellular vesicles, including exosomes. When eaten, these can be absorbed to reach our organs intact and may have direct consequences for our health.

Great #smallnewworld meeting. I learnt a lot and looking forward to the next one @ASEV_Austria @GSEV10
End of day 2 #smallnewworld fantastic meeting. Take home for me- lots of potential for biomarkers, diagnosis and therapeutics. Are EVs messengers, mediators or directors? Lots of applications to disease. Excited to see future developments. 🤯🔬Thank you all
Great day 1 at #smallnewworld EV meeting. Loving the discussion and challenge. Take home from an EV newbie- conditions and characterisation of EVs are important. What is an EV corona? How do you differentiate between a soft and hard one? 🔬🧫
Excited to be in Salzburg representing @CellGuidance at the “Small New World” meeting with our colleagues @HiSSDiagnostics #smallnewworld

.@wellcometrust ambition is for the research we fund to be open, engaged, equitable & efficient.
To achieve this we need to shift research practice - not just that of our researchers but our own as a funder from design of funding call to research evaluation.
Great work by @ProfGaelle and team @Cilla_Harries, @Psych_Tush @ana_wheelock looking at peer review for funding decisions. Belated congratulations- more work like this needs to be funded. #reimaginefundingculture go.nature.com/3MNkl8P

😆 excellent, thanks @MichaelWKChew that was an unforgettable and fun visit. It was great to be there with you and see and learn about all the great work done @MORUBKK @shokloun I will always treasure playing a small part in “feeding time”.
All the best in your new job. Thanks for the fun times together. I remember your “hands on” approach, even to the extent of sacrificing your blood if necessary to help the smallest. Remember this visit to @MORUBKK @shokloun @wellcometrust Thailand programme?
Today is my last day at @Wellcome, after 8.5 years I leave a fantastic organisation having made many great friends and colleagues and now I look forward to joining the exciting @CellGuidance as Research Director and tweeting our new discoveries and findings.
Great initiative by @UtrechtUni which we should all support and learn from. go.nature.com/3dneYwu
